Descriptions

The Foxit JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on before 2.0.2009.616 for Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 does not properly handle a fatal error during decoding of a JPEG2000 (aka JPX) header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that triggers an invalid memory access.

El complemento Foxit JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder antes de v2.0.2009.616 para Foxit Reader 3.0 antes de Build1817 no gestiona correctamente un error fatal durante la decodificación de una cabecera JPEG2000 (alias JPX), lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y bloqueo de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo PDF modificado que provoca un acceso a memoria no válida.
