Note the latest realplayer for Linux from real.com, version 10.0.8.805
segfaults using the reproducer.

Comment 10 Mark J. Cox 2007-08-01 09:10:20 UTC
still no update from Real, 10.0.8.805 is latest available on their site

Comment 12 Mark J. Cox 2007-08-17 08:09:49 UTC
The Real security page hasn't been updated with the new build, but if you visit
www.real.com and download the Linux version you get 10.0.9.809 and the version
release notes include:

  What's New in 10.0.9.809

    Security bugs fixes.

That's good enough for me, pushing update RHSA-2007:0841
