The Foxit JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on before 2.0.2009.616 for Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 does not properly handle a negative value for the stream offset in a JPEG2000 (aka JPX) stream, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious PDF could crash older Foxit Reader installations and may allow code execution. The issue is tied to Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 with the JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on before 2.0.2009.616. It matters mainly where legacy PDF readers remain in use. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints still running Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 with the vulnerable JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on installed. Treat as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue unless vulnerable Foxit versions are still deployed. Prioritize remediation where users open external PDFs, especially email attachments or downloaded documents. Mitigation focus: Inventory Foxit Reader versions and JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on versions.; Upgrade Foxit Reader beyond 3.0 Build 1817 and the add-on beyond 2.0.2009.616.; If upgrade is impossible, remove the vulnerable add-on or restrict PDF handling on affected hosts..
