Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PDF Reader version 11.0.1.0719 macOS

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 OnMouseExit method due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a read past the end of an allocated object. This can be leveraged to execute code in the context of the current process.
