RealPlayer security patches

Real has issued a patch set for the ever popular free Real Player. Apparently the Mac, Linux, and Windows versions all have a few vulnerabilities including the scary “ability to execute arbitray code.” Check the bulletin to see just how you are affected. I’ve seen lots of patches over the years for media players, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of anyone actually launching an attack via this avenue. Have you?
