[ MDVSA-2009:158-3 ] pango

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : pango
Date : December 3, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Integer overflow in the pango_glyph_string_set_size function in
pango/glyphstring.c in Pango before 1.24 allows context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via a long glyph string that triggers a
heap-based buffer overflow.

This update corrects the issue.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
