Foxit Reader Plugin URL Processing Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Foxit Reader Plugin, it exists in the npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll module. When loading PDF files from remote hosts, overly long query strings within URLs can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. This exploit has been tested on Windows 7 SP1 with Firefox 18.0 and Foxit Reader version 5.4.4.11281 (npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll version 2.2.1.530).

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
