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.
