Descriptions

Adobe FrameMaker version 2019.0.6 (and earlier versions) lacks proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. This could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious FrameMaker file.

Adobe FrameMaker versión 2019.0.6 (y versiones anteriores), carece de una comprobación apropiada de la longitud de los datos suministrados por el usuario antes de copiarlos en un búfer en la región stack de la memoria de longitud fija. Esto podría ser explotado para ejecutar código arbitrario con los privilegios del usuario actual. Es requerida una interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe abrir un archivo FrameMaker malicioso

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe FrameMaker. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of FM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
