Summary

An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software's Foxit PDF Reader version 9.7.0.29435. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger a previously freed object in memory to be reused, resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user to open the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability.

    descriptionAccording to its version, the Foxit Reader application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 9.7.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A use-after-free error exists related to handling watermarks, AcroForm objects, text fields, or JavaScript field objects that allows arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2019-5126, CVE-2019-5130, CVE-2019-5131, CVE-2019-5145, ZDI-CAN-9358, ZDI-CAN-9640, ZDI-CAN-9400, ZDI-CAN-9862) - An integer overflow or out-of-bounds read/write error exists related to handling JPEG/JPG2000 images or JP2 streams that allows memory contents disclosure. (ZDI-CAN-9102, ZDI-CAN-9606, ZDI-CAN-9407, ZDI-CAN-9413, ZDI-CAN-9414, ZDI-CAN-9415, ZDI-CAN-9406, ZDI-CAN-9416) - An out-of-bounds write error and a use-after-free error exist related to handling HTML to PDF conversion that allows arbitrary code execution. (ZDI-CAN-9591, ZDI-CAN-9560) - A use-after-free error exists related to handling documents that are missing dictionaries that allows unspecified impact. - A stack overflow error exists related to handling indirect object references that allows application crashes and other unspecified impact.
