Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the Foxit Reader Plugin, it exists in
the npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll module. When loading PDF files from remote hosts,
overly long query strings within URLs can cause a stack-based buffer overflow,
which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. This exploit has been tested
on Windows 7 SP1 with Firefox 18.0 and Foxit Reader version 5.4.4.11281
(npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll version 2.2.1.530).
