+DLL Injection Attack
+--------------------
+
+### Problem
+
+The Windows OS has an insecure predefined search order and set of defaults when trying to locate a resource. If the resource location is not specified by the software, an attacker need only place a malicious version in one of the locations Windows will search, and it will be loaded instead. Although this weakness can occur with any resource, it is especially common with DLL files.
+
+### Solutions
+
+Applications using libisal DLL library may need to apply one of the solutions to prevent from DLL injection attack.
+
+Two solutions are available:
+- Using a Fully Qualified Path is the most secure way to load a DLL
+- Signature verification of the DLL
