Adobe Photoshop 'dwmapi.dll' DLL Loading Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability
Adobe Photoshop is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers execute arbitrary code.
An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a legitimate user to use the vulnerable application to open a file from a network share location that contains a specially crafted Dynamic Linked Library (DLL) file.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 and CS5 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
