DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in Foxit Reader, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(fxdecod1.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to load
arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a PDF file
located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires the PDF document to have an invalid structure which can
trigger a crash.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.4.2.0901. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.4.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Parvez Anwar via Secunia.
