RealPlayer Active Exploitation, MaxDB, others

A vulnerability has been reported in RealPlayer. An activex control, rmoc3260.dll, is vulnerable to remote code execution. This can be exploited when a user browses to a malicious page, and will execute code in the context of the user running the application. SANS reports that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild. If you have RealPlayer installed on your system, it is highly recommended that you update to the latest version, however there is no patch available for the issue. The only current work around is to disable the affected activex control.
