| realplayer-rjs-filename-directory-traversal (18984) |  Medium Risk |

RealNetworks' RealPlayer could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories and upload files to the victim's computer.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious Web page or by sending the URL to a victim in a malicious email.
