1) Introduction
===============

Foxit Reader is a multilingual freemium PDF tool that can create, view, edit, digitally sign, and print PDF files.[3] Early versions of Foxit Reader were notable for startup performance and small file size.[citation needed] Foxit has been compared favorably toAdobe Reader.[4][5][6] The Windows version allows annotating and saving unfinished PDF forms, FDF import/export, converting to text, highlighting and drawing.

3) Technical details
============================

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

A specially crafted PDF can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability

to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
