Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Foxit Reader versions 3.0 before Build 1506, including versions 1120 and 1301, but since 1120 and 1301 are included in the range before Build 1506, the correct consolidation is:
Foxit Reader versions 3.0 before Build 1506
Description
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved via a long relative path or absolute path in the
filename argument in an action. An example of such an action is the "Open/Execute a file" action.Recommendations
For Foxit Reader versions 3.0 before Build 1506, consider updating to a version that includes Build 1506 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the "Open/Execute a file" action to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using long relative or absolute paths in the
filename argument until the issue is resolved.Exploit
