Description

This module exploits an unsafe Javascript API implemented in Foxit PDF Reader
version 4.2. The createDataObject() Javascript API function allows for writing
arbitrary files to the file system. This issue was fixed in version 4.3.1.0218.

Note: This exploit uses the All Users directory currently, which required
administrator privileges to write to. This means an administrative user has to
open the file to be successful. Kind of lame but thats how it goes sometimes in
the world of file write bugs.
