Talos has identified four use-after-free vulnerabilities in Foxit Reader. The reader includes Javascript support to enable dynamic documents and multimedia content, which can be viewed interactively. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger the reuse of previously freed memory, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick a user into opening a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.
Users are encouraged to update these affected products as soon as possible: Foxit Reader 12.0.1.12430. Talos tested and confirmed these versions of the reader could be exploited by these vulnerabilities.
