Description

According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor for Mac application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF for Mac) installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 12.1.2. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Foxit PDF Reader templates Use-After-Free Information Disclosure Vulnerability (CVE-2023-42089)

- Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to Use-After-Free, Out-of-Bounds Read, or Type Confusion vulnerability and crash when handling certain Doc, Graphic, Signature, Bookmark, or 3D annotation objects, which could be exploited by attackers to execute remote code or disclose information.

- Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to Use-After-Free or Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability and crash when handling certain Doc, Graphic, Signature, or Bookmark objects, which could be exploited by attackers to execute remote code or disclose information.
