Description
When processing a specially crafted PDF, Foxit PDF Editor/Reader may perform reentrant zoom and layout operations through page- and annotation-related JavaScript actions. This can cause the application to access page objects after they have been released, resulting in a use-after-free condition and an application crash.
Affected products
