Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a GDI memory overflow when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) External Control of File Name or Path (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to application allows an attacker to control path of the files to execute when using the  OpenAction method within the PDF file. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted PDF file and execute arbitrary commands on the system.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32616)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41257)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38573)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing PDF files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40194)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file types within the application when handling the exportDataObject() method of the Doc object. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open an executable file with Foxit PDF Editor and create arbitrary files on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can result in system compromise.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35985)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file types within the application when handling the exportDataObject() method of the Doc object. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open an executable file with Foxit PDF Editor and create arbitrary files on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can result in system compromise.


8) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted PDF file, trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
