RealNetworks RealPlayer and Helix Player should be upgraded immediately as publicly available exploit code for a buffer overflow vulnerability that exists in them is being used to compromise computers.
The vulnerability requires that the user open a media file or stream that that has been crafted by an attacker. It could execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition on a vulnerable system.
This affects the Mac OS X version as well as Windows.
