It appears that a new zero day exploit has been discovered that can potentially compromise machine security for users of IE and Realplayer.
"The malicious .html page checks several versions of RealPlayer to determine if the installed application is vulnerable," said Masaki Suenaga, a member of the Symantec Security Response team, in a blog post. "If it is, the attacker can potentially take control of the computer. Trojan.Reapall, the sample we received, successfully exploits this RealPlayer vulnerability and downloads and executes a copy Trojan.Zonebac."
