Synopsis:	Critical: pango security update

Issue date:	2011-03-01

CVE Names:	CVE-2011-0064



It was discovered that Pango did not check for memory reallocation 

failures in the hb_buffer_ensure() function. An attacker able to trigger 

a reallocation failure by passing sufficiently large input to an 

application using Pango could use this flaw to crash the application or, 

possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running 

the application. (CVE-2011-0064)





After installing this update, you must restart your system or restart 

the X server for the update to take effect.
