Foxit Reader ActiveX Control "OpenFile()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in Foxit Reader, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the FoxitReaderOCX ActiveX control when processing the "OpenFile()" method. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "strFilePath" parameter.
