Synopsis

A PDF toolkit installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the Foxit Reader application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.3.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in the proxyCPDFAction, proxyCheckLicence, proxyDoAction, proxyGetAppEdition, or proxyPreviewAction due to a stack buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via large integer or long string causing a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

- A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the cPDF plugin due to unexpected javascript invocation resulting in remote code execution. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by invoking javascript through the console to write local files. (ZDI-CAN-7407)

- A integer overflow and crash condition exists in the XFA stuff method due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. An attacker can explit this to disclose information. (ZDI-CAN-7561)

- A use-after-free, out-of-bounds read, and crash vulnerability exists when converting HTML files to PDFs. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose information or to execute arbitrary code. (ZDI-CAN-7620/ZDI-CAN-7844/ZDI-CAN-8170)

- A out-of-bounds write and crash vulnerability exists. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (ZDI-CAN-7613/ZDI-CAN-7614/ZDI-CAN-7701/ ZDI-CAN-7972)

- A use-after-free or out-of-bounds write and crash vulnerability exists. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (ZDI-CAN-7696/ZDI-CAN-7694)

- A use-after-free vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (ZDI-CAN-7696/ZDI-CAN-7694/ZDI-CAN-7777/ZDI-CAN-7874)

- A use-after-free, remote code execution, information disclosure vulnerability exists when deleting Field with nested scripts. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (ZDI-CAN-8162/ZDI-CAN-8163/ZDI-CAN-8164/ ZDI-CAN-8165/ZDI-CAN-8229/ZDI-CAN-8230/ZDI-CAN-8231/ZDI-CAN-8272)

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit Reader version 9.5.0 or later.
