Out-of-bounds read in Foxit PDF Reader

The vulnerability occurs in Foxit PDF Reader version 1.0.1.0925 for Linux 64-bit when a specially crafted PDF file is opened. The crash is triggered by an out-of-bounds read in the CPDF_DIBSource::TranslateScanline24bpp function. This can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of Foxit PDF Reader.

We have identified the following crash due to an out-of-bounds read in Foxit PDF Reader (version 1.0.1.0925 for Linux 64-bit), when started with a specially crafted PDF file in the following way:

$ MALLOC_CHECK_=3 DISPLAY=:1 FoxitReader /path/to/poc/file.pdf

The MALLOC_CHECK_=3 environment variable is used to enforce strict checks in the libc memory allocator, while DISPLAY=:1 is set due to the fact that we are testing the application with a virtual X server (Xvfb), but the issue should be equally reproducible with the program started with standard display settings, too.

An example excerpt from the crash log is as follows:
