CVE-2024-30349:
Foxit PDF Reader vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-30349 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Foxit PDF Reader that was discovered and disclosed in April 2024. The vulnerability exists within the parsing of U3D files and affects Foxit PDF Reader installations. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, as the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file (Zero Day Initiative).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing U3D files, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (Zero Day Initiative).
Impact
A successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. This means an attacker could potentially gain the same privileges as the application running the vulnerable code (Zero Day Initiative).
Mitigation and workarounds
Foxit has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to update their Foxit PDF Reader installations to the latest version. The fix is available through the application's built-in update mechanism or can be downloaded from the Foxit website (Foxit Security Bulletin).
