Foxit PhantomPDF < 7.3.15 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 102682

Language:

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 7.3.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified NULL pointer dereference flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a crash.

 - An unspecified flaw related to use of uninitialized memory allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a crash.

 - An unspecified flaw in the Trust Manager causes the setting to disable JavaScript actions to be ignored, thus allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript functions.

 - An unspecified use-after-free error exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

 - An unspecified out-of-bounds read flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose potentially sensitive information.

 - An unspecified out-of-bounds write flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit PhantomPDF version 7.3.15 or later.
