This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Foxit Reader and Phantom. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Foxit Reader and Phantom are prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file. Successful exploits may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands in the context of a user running the affected applications.
