Synopsis:    Moderate: pango security update
Issue Date:  2011-09-21
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3193


Pango is a library used for the layout and rendering of 
internationalized text.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in HarfBuzz, an OpenType text shaping
engine used in Pango. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file 
with an application that uses Pango, it could cause the application to 
crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the 
user running the application. (CVE-2011-3193)

Users of pango are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this
update, you must restart your system or restart the X server for the 
update to take effect.
