Foxit use-after-free vulnerability
Discovered by KPC of Cisco Talos.
Foxit Reader allows users to view, edit, and sign PDF documents, among other features. Foxit aims to be one of the most feature-rich PDF readers on the market, and contains many similar functions to that of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
TALOS-2026-2365 (CVE-2026-3779) is a use-after-free vulnerability in the way Foxit Reader handles an Array object. A specially crafted JavaScript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger this vulnerability, which can lead to memory corruption and result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
LibRaw heap-based buffer overflow and integer overflow vulnerabilities
Discovered by Francesco Benvenuto of Cisco Talos.
LibRaw is a library and user interface for processing RAW file types and metadata created by digital cameras. Talos analysts found 6 vulnerabilities in LibRaw.
TALOS-2026-2330 (CVE-2026-20911), TALOS-2026-2331 (CVE-2026-21413), TALOS-2026-2358 (CVE-2026-20889), and TALOS-2026-2359 (CVE-2026-24660) are heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in LibRaw, and TALOS-2026-2363 (CVE-2026-24450) and TALOS-2026-2364 (CVE-2026-20884) are integer overflow vulnerabilities. Specially crafted malicious files can lead to heap buffer overflow in all cases. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.
