Descriptions

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.0.0.29935. 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 parsing of U3D files. 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 context process. Was ZDI-CAN-5428.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite que atacantes remotos revelen información sensible en instalaciones vulnerables de Foxit Reader 9.0.0.29935. 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. Este error en concreto existe en el análisis de imágenes U3D. 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 y otras para ejecutar código en el contexto del actual proceso. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-5428.
