Security & Privacy + Software & Apps

Real Software has released an update to its Real Player software, saying that there are four new vulnerabilities, one of which affects the Mac version of the software. But it’s a bit confusing. The company has posted a matrix to try and help users understand what’s wrong with each version, but it’s pretty hard to follow. Secunia calls these vulnerabilities “highly critical” but lumps them all together, rather than rating each one individually. Suffice it to say that you’re probably better off updating to version 11 of Real Player if you don’t already have it. If you ever use the software, that is.
