Foxit Reader < 5.4 Trojan DLL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 62064

Language:

Synopsis

A PDF viewer installed on the remote host is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Foxit Reader installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 5.4. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the Facebook Plugin (facebook_plugin.fpi) due to how dynamic-link library (DLL) files are located and loaded. A local attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted Trojan horse DLL file injected into the current working directory, to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit Reader version 5.4 or later.
