Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PDF Reader version 11.2.2.53575

Description This issue allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 resetForm method, allowing an attacker to trigger a read past the end of an allocated object by performing actions in JavaScript. This can be leveraged in conjunction with other issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
