CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2009:0476
Pango is a library used for the layout and rendering of internationalized
text.
Will Drewry discovered an integer overflow flaw in Pango’s
pango_glyph_string_set_size() function. If an attacker is able to pass an
arbitrarily long string to Pango, it may be possible to execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the application calling Pango. (CVE-2009-1194)
pango and evolution28-pango users 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. Note: Restarting the X server closes
all open applications and logs you out of your session.
