Descriptions

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the (1) Print method and (2) App object handling in Foxit Reader before 7.2.2 and Foxit PhantomPDF before 7.2.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de uso después de liberación de memoria en (1) el método Print y (2) el manejador de objetos App en Foxit Reader en versiones anteriores a 7.2.2 y Foxit PhantomPDF en versiones anteriores a 7.2.2 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un documento PDF manipulado.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit PhantomPDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of the App object. A specially crafted PDF document can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
