Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Foxit MobilePDF versions prior to 6.1

Description: A denial-of-service issue was discovered in the Foxit MobilePDF app. This issue occurs when a user uploads a file that includes a hexadecimal Unicode character in the filename parameter via Wi-Fi, causing the app to fail to parse this.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 6.1, update to version 6.1 or later to resolve the issue.
