3. Description:

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.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

496887 - CVE-2009-1194 pango: pango_glyph_string_set_size integer overflow
