The thumbnail shell extension plugin (FoxitThumbnailHndlr_x86.dll) in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) via a crafted JPEG2000 image embedded in a PDF document, aka an "Exploitable - Heap Corruption" issue.

Out-of-Bounds read vulnerability in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows, when the gflags app is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP image embedded in the XFA stream in a PDF document, aka "Data from Faulting Address may be used as a return value starting at FOXITREADER."

Heap buffer overflow (Out-of-Bounds write) vulnerability in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG2000 image embedded in a PDF document, aka a "corrupted suffix pattern" issue.

Out-of-Bounds read vulnerability in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows, when the gflags app is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image embedded in the XFA stream in a PDF document, aka "Read Access Violation starting at FoxitReader."

The ConvertToPDF plugin in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 8.1 on Windows, when the gflags app is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, aka "Data from Faulting Address is used as one or more arguments in a subsequent Function Call starting at ConvertToPDF_x86!CreateFXPDFConvertor."

Foxit Reader for Mac 2.1.0.0804 and earlier and Foxit Reader for Linux 2.1.0.0805 and earlier suffered from a vulnerability where weak file permissions could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. After the installation, Foxit Reader's core files were world-writable by default, allowing an attacker to overwrite them with backdoor code, which when executed by privileged user would result in Privilege Escalation, Code Execution, or both.
