CHANGE HISTORY **31 January 2013:**Original Copy Published 07 February 2013: Two changes:
1. Changed the Description to remove the phrase ‘from the local network to files stored on’, to more closely match in words the CVSS score and the X-Force Description
2. Added ‘Only’ to the Releases Affected to make it clear that only 6.3.0.x and 6.4.0.0 are affected.
20 February 2013: Added workaround for CAD schedule users to prevent Web GUI use
