Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1506, including 1120 and 1301, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) relative path or (2) absolute path in the filename argument in an action, as demonstrated by the "Open/Execute a file" action.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en Foxit Reader v3.0 anteriores a Build 1506, incluidas la 1120 y la 1301, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de (1)una ruta relativa larga o (2)una ruta absoluta larga en el argumento "filename" en una acción, como se demostró mediante la acción "Abrir/Ejecutar un fichero".

Foxit Reader versions 3.0 build 1120 and build 1301 suffer from authorization bypass and buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
