The Cisco WebEx Recording Format (WRF) player contains six buffer overflow vulnerabilities. In some cases, exploitation of the vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of a targeted user. The Cisco WebEx WRF Player is an application used to play back WRF WebEx meeting recordings that have been recorded on a WebEx meeting site or on the computer of an online meeting attendee. The Cisco WebEx WRF Player can be automatically installed when the user accesses a recording file that is hosted on a WebEx meeting site. The Cisco WebEx WRF Player can also be manually installed for offline playback after downloading the application from http://www.webex.com/play-webex-recording.html . If the Cisco WebEx WRF Player was automatically installed, it will be automatically upgraded to the latest, nonvulnerable version when users access a recording file that is hosted on a WebEx meeting site. If the Cisco WebEx WRF Player was manually installed, users will need to manually install a new version of the Cisco WebEx WRF Player after downloading the latest version from http://www.webex.com/play-webex-recording.html . Cisco has updated affected versions of the WebEx meeting sites and Cisco WebEx WRF Player to address these vulnerabilities.
