    descriptionAccording to its version, the Foxit PhantomPDF application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.3.9. It is, therefore, affected by following vulnerabilities: - An out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability exists when handling certain XFA element attributes. This occurs due to improper calculation of a null-terminated character and may cause an application crash. (CVE-2018-3956) - A signature validation bypass vulnerability exists which provides incorrect results when validating certain PDF documents. (CVE-2018-18688/CVE-2018-18689) - Flaws in how PDF files are processed/handled could lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file in order to cause the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-6728,CVE-2019-6729) Additionally, the application was affected by multiple potential information disclosure, denial of service, and remote code execution vulnerabilities.
