Synopsis
A PDF toolkit installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its version, the Foxit PhantomPDF application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A use-after-free error exists in the AFParseDateEx() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10941)
- Multiple out-of-bounds read errors exist that are triggered when handling specially crafted PDF files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-10942, CVE-2017-10943)
- An out-of-bounds read error exists due to improper parsing of ObjStm objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-10944)
- A use-after-free error exists in the app.alert() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10945)
- A use-after-free error exists in the setItem() function.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10946)
- A use-after-free error exists in the print() function.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10947)
- A use-after-free error exists in the app.execMenuItem() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10948)
- An unspecified arbitrary write flaw exists. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10994)
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service condition.
- A security bypass vulnerability exists in the Trust Manager due to a failure to honor the restriction of JavaScript actions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, to execute arbitrary JavaScript functions.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered by the use of uninitialized data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition.
