CVE-2018-14258
Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.8)—
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.0.1.1049. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the getPageNthWord method. By performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-6021.

Se requiere de interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad en la que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. Este error en concreto existe en el método getPageNthWord. Realizando acciones en JavaScript, un atacante puede desencadenar una condición de confusión de tipos. Un atacante podría aprovecharse de esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del actual proceso. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-6021."
