CVE-2018-10494

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Foxit Reader version 9.0.1.1049

Description: This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of U3D 3DView objects due to the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this to execute code under the context of the current process.

Recommendations: For Foxit Reader version 9.0.1.1049, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version allows for the execution of arbitrary code. As a temporary workaround, avoid opening malicious files or visiting malicious pages to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict the use of U3D 3DView objects until a patch is available.
