DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Dropbox for Android, which can
be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the application providing the
Dropbox content service to other applications, which can be exploited
to e.g. upload files (including the Dropbox configuration files and
content databases) to the user's Dropbox account.

Successful exploitation requires that a malicious application is
installed.

The security issue is reported in version 1.1.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.
