Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

According to its version, the Foxit PhantomPDF application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.1.7. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by a heap overflow vulnerability due to insecure handling of a crafted file,     potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this     issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-44708,     CVE-2021-44709)

  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file.
    An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service     in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim     must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-44740, CVE-2021-44741)

  - Foxit PDF Reader before 11.2.1 and Foxit PDF Editor before 11.2.1 have an Uncontrolled Search Path Element     for DLL files. (CVE-2022-24955)

  - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit     PDF Reader 11.1.0.52543. 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 handling of Doc     objects. By performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a read past the end of an allocated     buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
    Was ZDI-CAN-15703. (CVE-2022-24358)

  - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit     PDF Reader 11.1.0.52543. 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 handling of Doc     objects. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing     operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of     the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-15702. (CVE-2022-24359)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

  - Apache log4net versions before 2.0.10 do not disable XML external entities when parsing log4net     configuration files. This allows for XXE-based attacks in applications that accept attacker-controlled     log4net configuration files. (CVE-2018-1285)
