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.x < 8.3.12 / 9.x < 9.7. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An out-of-bounds error exists in the V8 JavaScript engine. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into opening a malicious file to execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2019-5031)

- A denial of service (DOS) vulnerability exists in the V8 JavaScript engine due to two unique RecursiveCall bugs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to exhaust the available stack memory. (CVE-2019-13123, CVE-2019-13124)

- A denial of service (DOS) vulnerability exists due to a potential issue where the application could be exposed to an access violation vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this, by launching the application under conditions where there is not enough memory in the system, to cause the application to stop responding.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit PhantomPDF version 8.3.12 or later
