Foxit Software has released version 5.0.2 of its PDF reader program in order to address two vulnerabilities that can result in remote code execution of arbitrary code.

"The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the FoxitReaderOCX ActiveX control when processing the 'OpenFile()' method.
