Patches are available for eight high-severity flaws impacting the popular PDF software Foxit Reader. The bugs, which exist on Windows versions of the software, enable a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems.

This week, Foxit Software, the company behind Foxit Reader, released the patches. While the number of Foxit Reader users is unclear, the company claimed last year it has over 475 million users of its products.

Foxit Software is urging customers to update to the latest version of its tool. “Foxit has released Foxit Reader 9.7, which addresses potential security and stability issues,” said the company in a security advisory.
