DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in ACDSee FotoSlate,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(e.g. dwmapi.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to
load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a
FotoSlate Project (PLP) file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB
share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.0 Build 146. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
