Description

Foxit Studio Photo is prone to a information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. Foxit Studio Photo 3.6.6.915 and prior are vulnerable.

Technologies Affected

• Foxit Studio Photo 3.6.6.915

Recommendations

Block external access at the network boundary, unless external parties require service.
If global access isn’t needed, filter access to the affected computer at the network boundary. Restricting access to only trusted computers and networks might greatly reduce the likelihood of successful exploits.

Deploy network intrusion detection systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity.
Deploy NIDS to monitor network traffic for signs of anomalous or suspicious activity. This includes but is not limited to requests that include NOP sleds and unexplained incoming and outgoing traffic. This may indicate exploit attempts or activity that results from successful exploits.

To limit the consequences of successful exploits, run the server in a closed or restricted environment.
To limit the consequences of successful exploits, run server processes within a restricted environment using facilities such as chroot or jail.

Implement multiple redundant layers of security.
Various memory-protection schemes (such as nonexecutable and randomly mapped memory segments) may hinder an attacker’s ability to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.

Updates are available. Please see the references or vendor advisory for more information.
