The Foxit Cloud Update Service (FoxitCloudUpdateService) in Foxit Reader 6.1 through 6.2.x and 7.x before 7.2.2, when an update to the Cloud plugin is available, allows local users to gain privileges by writing crafted data to a shared memory region, which triggers memory corruption.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
