CRITICAL:
Highly critical

DESCRIPTION:
Tan Chew Keong has reported a vulnerability in Adobe Pagemaker, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in MAIPM6.DLL
when handling font names in PageMaker (.PMD) files. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a
specially-crafted .PMD file containing an overly long font name.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

Apply updates (see the vendor's advisory for details).
