CVE-2020-8880
Description
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit Studio Photo 3.6.6.916. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of TIF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-9773.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Foxit Studio Photo 3.6.6.916 is vulnerable to remote code execution via a crafted TIF file due to an out-of-bounds read, requiring user interaction.
Vulnerability
Foxit Studio Photo version 3.6.6.916 contains a vulnerability in the handling of TIF files. The lack of proper validation of user-supplied data leads to a read past the end of an allocated structure. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. User interaction is required: the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. [2]
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious TIF file that triggers the out-of-bounds read when parsed by Foxit Studio Photo. The attacker needs to convince the user to open the file or visit a page hosting it. No authentication or special privileges are required. [2]
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system, including data disclosure, modification, or further attacks. [2]
Mitigation
As of the available references, no specific fix for Foxit Studio Photo has been released. The Foxit security bulletins page [1] does not list Studio Photo among its patched products. Users should consider avoiding opening TIF files from untrusted sources until a patch is available. [1][2]
