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 fatal error during decoding of a JPEG2000 (aka JPX) header, 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 invalid memory access.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious PDF could crash vulnerable Foxit Reader installations and may allow code execution. The issue is in Foxit’s JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on when handling a malformed JPEG2000 header. Business exposure is mainly legacy endpoints that still use Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 with the older decoder add-on. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Foxit Reader 3.0 before Build 1817 and the affected JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on. Modern deployments are only in scope if old Foxit builds remain installed or packaged in unmanaged images. Prioritize remediation where legacy Foxit Reader is present on workstations handling external PDFs. The age of the vulnerability reduces broad modern exposure, but possible code execution through document handling warrants cleanup of obsolete software. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Foxit Reader to Build 1817 or later where applicable.; Upgrade the JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder add-on to 2.0.2009.616 or later.; Remove unsupported Foxit Reader 3.0 installations from managed endpoints..
