01. Real Player 5.0 Killer
--------------------------
Real Networks has been notified of the problem and has stated that they will
make a fix for their upcoming G2 release and are considering making a patch
available for all of the 5.0 players out there. The only available
workaround at this time is to force your player to use TCP instead of UDP
for streams in the transport area of the preferences menu.
/*
* Real Player Killer - 6/26/98
*
* (C) 1998 Kit Knox <kit@connectnet.com>
*
* [ http://www.rootshell.com/ ]
*
* Real Player 5.0 for Windows95 and Linux (others untested) do not check
* the validity of incoming UDP packets used when receiving audio/video.
*
* If you are able to determine or brute force the destination port of the
* stream you are able to crash the player and cause it to use 100% of
* idle CPU. I would not be surprised if there are numerous buffer
* overflows in this area as well. The client does not even check if the
* source IP address is the one it is receiving data from. Any source IP
* can be used.
*
* Generally the stack will start with port 1025 and go up. Starting there
* and going up will generally give you good results. If you are able to
* sniff the network you will know the exact port and not have to guess.
