**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Foxit Reader version 9.0.1.1049
**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 JPEG2000 images 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 9.0.1.1049, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as no specific workaround is provided for this version. As a temporary measure, avoid opening suspicious files or visiting untrusted websites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
