DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered 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 when attempting
to set the window title text and can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PDF document
containing an overly long title.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 3.3.1.0518 and 4.1.1.805.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.2.0.0928, which also provides a security
enhancement to the handling of PDF signatures.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.

Additional information provided by Secunia Research.
