Foxit PDF Reader < 11.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 154004

Language:

Synopsis

A PDF viewer installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit Reader) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 11.1. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Foxit PDF Reader before 11.1 and PDF Editor before 11.1, and PhantomPDF before 10.1.6, allow attackers to trigger a use-after-free and execute arbitrary code because JavaScript is mishandled. (CVE-2021-41780, CVE-2021-41781, CVE-2021-41782, CVE-2021-41783, CVE-2021-41784, CVE-2021-41785)

 - Foxit PDF Reader before 11.1 and PDF Editor before 11.1, and PhantomPDF before 10.1.6, mishandle hidden and incremental data in signed documents. An attacker can write to an arbitrary file, and display controlled contents, during signature verification. (CVE-2021-40326)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit PDF Reader version 11.1 or later
