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.
