Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe PageMaker, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error when processing font structures in a .PMD file can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .PMD file.
2) A boundary error when processing certain structures in a .PMD file can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .PMD file.
3) An unspecified boundary error in the processing of .PMD files can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.0.1 and also reported in version 7.0.2. Other versions may also be affected.

The vendor has issued a patch fixing vulnerabilities #1 and #3:
