According to its version, the Foxit Reader application installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.0. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • Use-after-free vulnerability in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF 7.3.4.311 and earlier on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2016-6168)

  • Heap-based buffer overflow in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF 7.3.4.311 and earlier on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code via the Bezier data in a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2016-6169)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
