Descriptions

An exploitable use of an uninitialized pointer vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine in Foxit PDF Reader version 9.0.1.1049. A specially crafted PDF document can lead to a dereference of an uninitialized pointer which, if under attacker control, can result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user to open a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability.

Existe un uso explotable de un puntero no inicializado en el motor JavaScript en Foxit PDF Reader 9.0.1.1049. Un documento PDF especialmente manipulado puede conducir a una desreferencia de un puntero no inicializado que, si está bajo el control del atacante, puede resultar en la ejecución de código arbitrario. Un atacante necesita engañar a un usuario para que abra un archivo malicioso para desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad. Si la extensión del plugin del navegador está habilitada, visitar un sitio malicioso también puede desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad.
