Stack-based buffer overflow in Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1506, including 1120 and 1301, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) relative path or (2) absolute path in the filename argument in an action, as demonstrated by the "Open/Execute a file" action.
Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database
The vulnerability is triggered by a long relative or absolute path in the filename argument in an action, such as the 'Open/Execute a file' action. This can lead to a buffer overflow, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
