If you already have the plugin installed you *_may_* be able to uninstall Foxit, reboot, then reinstall Foxit, just unchecking the plugin or "Open PDFs in browser" option. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23218186 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:02:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23214166 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23214166 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:20:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23213684 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23213684 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:49:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foxit-Reader-Firefox-Plugin-Memory-Corruption-Vulnerability-23211732 A vulnerability has been discovered in Foxit Reader plug-in for Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.Thanks for the warning.

I guess I'm "safe" since I have not installed "foxit". All I need to worry about is the never ending stream of security flaws in the Adobe reader :(

Points were made and questions were asked. Seems to be a forum.

As for Foxit keep using the updated version minus the Fx plugin until an update is released which should be in short order.

Impact: System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Unpatched

A vulnerability has been discovered in Foxit Reader plug-in for Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox (npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll). This can be exploited to trigger a memory corruption by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page which repeatedly loads and unloads the plugin.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed with Foxit Reader version 3.1.2.1013 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3.
