DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in CyberLink PowerDirector, 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 version 8 and reportedly e.g. mfc71loc.dll in
version 7) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to load
arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a
PowerDirector library (.pdl) located on a remote WebDAV or SMB
share.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in CyberLink PowerDirector 7 and
confirmed in PowerDirector 8 version 8.00.3022. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
