Description:
Stuart Pearson has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Publisher, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing fonts and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted ".pub" document.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
