MediumCVSS 6.8/10Last modified Jun 16, 2026

Description

Foxit Reader 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with (1) a malformed ExtGState resource containing a /Font resource, or (2) an XObject resource with a Rotate setting, which triggers memory corruption. NOTE: this is probably a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2186.
