Any PCs that run the Real Player
From the site at http://www.service.real.com/help/faq/security/040123_player/EN/

Exploit 2: To fashion RMP files which allow an attacker to download and execute arbitrary code on a user's machine.

"Exploit 2" affects RealOne Player, RealOne Player v2 (all language versions, all platforms), and RealOne Enterprise Desktop or RealPlayer Enterprise (all versions, standalone and as configured by the RealOne Desktop Manager or RealPlayer Enterprise Manager).

Note that it does mention "all platforms".

All software has bugs. You just need to keep up with the updates. Get over it!
