{"vuid":"VU#570177","idnumber":"570177","name":"Foxit Reader vulnerable to arbitrary command execution","keywords":["Foxit Reader","launch","pdf","command execution"],"overview":"Foxit Reader contains a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands without requiring user interaction.","clean_desc":"Foxit Reader is software designed to view Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The Adobe PDF Reference supports a \"Launch action\" that \"... launches an application or opens or prints a document.\"  Foxit Reader uses the ShellExecute function to handle PDFs that use a Launch action. In some cases, Foxit Reader will not prompt the user before an application is launched with a Launch action. It is also reported that the Launch Action can be used to launch an executable that is included in the PDF document, which results in arbitrary code execution.","impact":"By convincing a user to open a PDF document, e.g. by visiting a website, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.","resolution":"Apply an update\nThis issue is addressed in Foxit Reader 3.2.1.0401. This update will cause Foxit Reader to prompt the user before using a Launch Action.","workarounds":"","sysaffected":"","thanks":"This vulnerability was reported by Didier Stevens.","author":"This document was written by Will Dormann.","public":["http://blog.didierstevens.com/2010/03/29/escape-from-pdf/","http://blog.didierstevens.com/2010/03/31/escape-from-foxit-reader/","http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf","http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001923.html","http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153%28VS.85%29.aspx"],"cveids":[""],"certadvisory":"","uscerttechnicalalert":null,"datecreated":"2010-03-30T18:24:15Z","publicdate":"2010-03-31T00:00:00Z","datefirstpublished":"2010-04-02T18:42:19Z","dateupdated":"2010-04-15T14:31:53Z","revision":8,"vrda_d1_directreport":"0","vrda_d1_population":"2","vrda_d1_impact":"3","cam_widelyknown":"18","cam_exploitation":"0","cam_internetinfrastructure":"10","cam_population":"13","cam_impact":"15","cam_easeofexploitation":"18","cam_attackeraccessrequired":"18","cam_scorecurrent":"33.1695","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknown":"35.53875","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknownexploited":"59.23125","ipprotocol":"","cvss_accessvector":"","cvss_accesscomplexity":"","cvss_authentication":null,"cvss_confidentialityimpact":"","cvss_integrityimpact":"","cvss_availabilityimpact":"","cvss_exploitablity":null,"cvss_remediationlevel":"","cvss_reportconfidence":"","cvss_collateraldamagepotential":"","cvss_targetdistribution":"","cvss_securityrequirementscr":"","cvss_securityrequirementsir":"","cvss_securityrequirementsar":"","cvss_basescore":"","cvss_basevector":"","cvss_temporalscore":"","cvss_environmentalscore":"","cvss_environmentalvector":"","metric":33.1695,"vulnote":null}
