Descriptions

An exploitable type confusion vulnerability exists in the way Foxit PDF Reader version 9.0.1.1049 parses files with associated file annotations. A specially crafted PDF document can lead to an object of invalid type to be dereferenced, which can potentially lead to sensitive memory disclosure, and possibly to arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability.

Existe una vulnerabilidad explotable de confusión de tipos por la forma en la que Foxit PDF Reader 9.0.1.1049 analiza archivos con anotaciones de archivo asociadas. Un documento PDF especialmente manipulado puede conducir a que un objeto de tipo no válido se desreferencie, lo que puede conducir a una divulgación de memoria sensible y a una posible ejecución de código arbitrario. Un atacante necesita engañar a un usuario para que abra el archivo malicioso para desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad. Si la extensión del plugin del navegador está habilitada, visitar un sitio malicioso también puede desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad.
