Gentoo Linux Security Advisory

Title: Pango: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 201405-13)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: local, remote
Date: May 17, 2014
Bug(s): #268976, #352087, #357067
ID: 201405-13

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Pango, the worst of
which allow execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.


Background

Pango is an internationalized text layout and rendering library

Affected Packages

Package: x11-libs/pango
Vulnerable: < 1.28.3-r1
Unaffected: >= 1.28.3-r1
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pango. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.


Impact

A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to load specially
crafted text using an application linked against Pango, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process or a Denial of Service condition.


Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Pango users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code:
# emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/pango-1.28.3-r1"
   
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since March 18, 2011. It is likely that your system is already
no longer affected by this issue.
