Foxit Reader Compact Font Format Buffer Overflow Exploit

A vulnerability has been identified in Foxit Reader, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a stack-based buffer overflow error when processing Compact Font Format (CFF) data within a PDF document, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF document. This vulnerability is the same that is currently being exploited to jailbreak the iPhone 4 OS.
