The company said that older versions of the WRF Player for Windows, MacOS X and Linux were all vulnerable to attack, though users who update to the latest versions of the players will not be subject to the flaws. Cisco noted that users should update their software as a safety measure.The company said that the vulnerabilities were disclosed to the company through a researcher at FortiNet labs, and thus far no attacks targeting the flaw have been spotted in the wild. Outside of the WRF Player, no other applications or components are believed to be vulnerable to attack.
