A vulnerability has been discovered in Adobe PhotoShop, 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 and can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a PSD file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in CS4 and CS5 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Apply Adobe Photoshop 12.0.3 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5.
