Descriptions

The ConvertToPDF plugin in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 7.3.4 on Windows, when the gflags app is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted (1) JPEG, (2) GIF, or (3) BMP image.

El plugin ConvertToPDF en Foxit Reader y PhantomPDF en versiones anteriores a 7.3.4 en Windows, cuando la aplicación gflags está activa, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y caída de aplicación) a través de una imagen (1) JPEG, (2) GIF o (3) BMP manipulada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader. 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 ConvertToPDF plugin. A specially crafted BMP image can force Foxit Reader to read memory past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can use this information in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the process.
