The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the FoxitReaderOCX ActiveX control when processing the "OpenFile()" method. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "strFilePath" parameter. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.0.1.0523 (FoxitReaderOCX.ocx 2.0.1.524). Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 5.0.2.0718. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Originally reported by SarBoT511 and D3V!L FUCKER in version 3.1.4.1125, but the control was not marked "safe for scripting". Fixed in version 4.3.0.1110 at the same time as the control was marked "safe for scripting". Discovery of regression in the "safe for scripting" control in version 5.0.1.0523 by Secunia Research.
