Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Foxit Reader version 9.0.0.29935

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 U3D Light Node structures due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a read past the end of an allocated structure. 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 9.0.0.29935, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version allows for the disclosure of sensitive information due to improper validation of user-supplied data in U3D Light Node structures. As a temporary workaround, avoid opening malicious files or visiting suspicious web pages with Foxit Reader until a patch is available.
