DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Maxthon, 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. RSRC32.dll, dwmapi.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be
exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g.
opening a web page (.html) located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.6.7.35 and 2.5.15. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
