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. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-5677 and CVE-2018-5679.

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. El problema deriva de la falta de validación correcta de información proporcionada por el usuario, lo que puede dar como resultado la lectura más allá del final de un objeto asignado. Un atacante podría aprovecharse de esta vulnerabilidad junto con otras para ejecutar código en el contexto del actual proceso. Esta vulnerabilidad es diferente de CVE-2018-5677 y CVE-2018-5679.
