        Foxit PDF Reader v9.0.1.1049 has a Use-After-Free vulnerability
        in the Text Annotations component and the TypedArray's use
        uninitialized pointers.

        The vulnerabilities can be combined to leak a vtable memory address,
        which can be adjusted to point to the base address of the executable.
        A ROP chain can be constructed that will execute when Foxit Reader
        performs the UAF.
