Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2017-03-14 09:59 - Updated: 2026-05-13 00:24
Severity
4.7 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
The ConvertToPDF plugin in Foxit Reader before 8.2.1 and PhantomPDF before 8.2.1 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. The vulnerability could lead to information disclosure; an attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
