Security update for Foxit Reader

Foxit Software has announced the release of version 4.3.1.0218 of its PDF Reader product, a maintenance update that addresses a "highly critical" security vulnerability. According to Foxit, the patch corrects an issue that could, when opening a specially crafted document, cause an integer overflow error when processing specific ICC profiles, in turn leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. This could be used, for example, by an attacker to compromise a user's system by terminating the application or executing arbitrary code.
