Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Foxit Studio Photo version 3.6.6.922
Description
This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the handling of EZIX files, specifically due to a crafted
id in a channel element that can trigger a write past the end of an allocated buffer. This allows an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.Recommendations
For Foxit Studio Photo version 3.6.6.922, consider disabling the handling of EZIX files until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
