DESCRIPTION:
coolkaveh has discovered a vulnerability in Foxit Reader, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The bundled Facebook plug-in (facebook_plugin.fpi) loads libraries
(e.g. dwmapi.dll) in an insecure manner and can be exploited to load
arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a PDF file
located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.3.1.0606. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
