Foxit · Foxit Reader · CVE-2019-13329
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Foxit Reader version 9.5
**Description**
This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the processing of TIF files due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.
**Recommendations**
For Foxit Reader version 9.5, update to a version that fixes the issue with processing TIF files to prevent type confusion conditions. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the conversion of TIF files to PDF until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
