DESCRIPTION:
Zero Science Lab has reported a vulnerability in SciTools Understand,
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. wintab32.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to
load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening an
Understand Project (.UDB) file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB
share.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6 build 598. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6 build 600.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Gjoko Krstic, Zero Science Lab.
