DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Google Picasa, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to load arbitrary
libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening certain files located
on a remote WebDAV or SMB share via the "Locate on Disk"
functionality.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.8.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Makoto Shiotsuki via JPCERT/CC.
