Description:
Javier Vicente Vallejo has discovered two vulnerabilities in Foxit Reader, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors within the processing of PDF files and can be exploited via a PDF file containing a specially crafted PDF XObject or ExtGState.
Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code when opening a malicious PDF file.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.3 Build 2825, which partially fixes the vulnerabilities.
