Story: RealPlayer and Helix Player in Linux security scare

I think I have real player installed on most of my systems, but cannot recall having ever used it. It's just easier to use MPlayer for both Windows and Real streams. Of course, someone could find an exploit in MPlayer, then we would really be hosed. I'm still interested in seeing an actual Linux virus or exploit in action though. I keep hearing about them, but know of nobody who has ever actually been affected by one. Oh well.
