Descriptions

The ConvertToPDF plugin in Foxit Reader before 8.2 and PhantomPDF before 8.2 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 JPEG image. The vulnerability could lead to information disclosure; an attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.

El plugin ConvertToPDF en Foxit Reader en versiones anteriores a 8.2 y PhantomPDF en versiones anteriores a 8.2 en Windows, cuando la aplicación gflags está habilitada permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y caída de la aplicación) a través de una imagen JPEG manipulada. La vulnerabilidad podría conducir a la divulgación de información; un atacante puede aprovechar esto en conjunto con otras vulnerabilidades para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual.
