Descriptions

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader before 9.1 and PhantomPDF before 9.1. 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 processing of specially crafted pdf files with embedded u3d images. Crafted data in the PDF file can trigger an overflow of a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-5676 and CVE-2018-5678.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario en instalaciones vulnerables de Foxit Reader en versiones anteriores a la 9.1 y PhantomPDF en versiones anteriores a la 9.1. Se requiere de interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad en la que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. El error específico existe en el procesamiento de archivos PDF especialmente manipulados con imágenes u3d embebidas. Los datos manipulados en el archivo PDF pueden desencadenar 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. Esta vulnerabilidad es diferente de CVE-2018-5676 y CVE-2018-5678
