DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Gromada Multimedia Conversion
Library, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to libmcl-5.4.0.dll loading libraries
(e.g. libgif-1.1.0.dll and libhav-1.0.1.dll) in an insecure manner.
This can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries when an application
using this library e.g. opens a file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB
share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.4.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files with an application using this library.
