Foxit · Foxit Reader · CVE-2017-16574
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Foxit Reader version 8.3.1.21155
**Description**
This issue allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of Image filters due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this, in conjunction with other issues, to execute code in the context of the current process.
**Recommendations**
For Foxit Reader version 8.3.1.21155, consider disabling the Image filter parsing functionality as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious files or web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
