'Name' => 'RealPlayer RealMedia File Handling Buffer Overflow',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow on RealPlayer <=15.0.6.14.
The vulnerability exists in the handling of real media files, due to the insecure
usage of the GetPrivateProfileString function to retrieve the URL property from an
InternetShortcut section.
This module generates a malicious rm file which must be opened with RealPlayer via
drag and drop or double click methods. It has been tested successfully on Windows
XP SP3 with RealPlayer 15.0.5.109.
