Feiten
Foxit heeft kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Foxit PDF Reader (Specifiek voor versies vóór 2025.2.1, 14.0.1 en 13.2.1 op Windows en MacOS).
Interpretaties
De kwetsbaarheden omvatten een lokale privilege-escalatie, een use-after-free kwetsbaarheid en een geheugenbeschadiging gerelateerd aan onvoldoende grenzencontrole bij de verwerking van 3D-annotaties. Aanvallers kunnen deze kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om willekeurige code uit te voeren op de getroffen systemen, wat kan leiden tot ongeautoriseerde toegang en systeeminstabiliteit. De use-after-free kwetsbaarheid kan zelfs worden geactiveerd zonder gebruikersinteractie, wat het risico vergroot, vooral in omgevingen waar PDF-bestanden vaak worden geopend.
Oplossingen
Foxit heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.
