<impact type="normal">
<p>
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SWF (Shockwave Flash)
file, a remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.

<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/realplayer-11.0.0.4028-r1"</code>
