What is CVE-2022-38097?

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in Foxit Software's PDF Reader, specifically within its JavaScript engine. This issue arises when annotation objects are destroyed prematurely, allowing a specially crafted PDF document to trigger the reuse of previously freed memory. This behavior can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Attackers might exploit this vulnerability by enticing users to open a malicious PDF file or by employing a rogue website if the browser's plugin extension is active.
