Descriptions

In Foxit Reader before 9.1 and Foxit PhantomPDF before 9.1, a flaw exists within the parsing of the BITMAPINFOHEADER record in BMP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the biSize member, which can result in a heap based buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

En Foxit Reader, en versiones anteriores a la 9.1, y Foxit PhantomPDF, en versiones anteriores a la 9.1, existe un error en el análisis del registro BITMAPINFOHEADER en los archivos BMP. El problema deriva de la falta de validación correcta del miembro biSize, lo que puede dar como resultado un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap). Un atacante podría aprovecharse de esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del actual proceso.
