 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2011:040
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : pango
 Date    : March 3, 2011
 Affected: 2010.0, 2010.1
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in pango:
 
 It was discovered that pango did not check for memory reallocation
 failures in hb_buffer_ensure() function.  This could trigger a NULL
 pointer dereference in hb_buffer_add_glyph(), where possibly untrusted
 input is used as an index used for accessing members of the incorrectly
 reallocated array, resulting in the use of NULL address as the base
 array address.  This can result in application crash or, possibly,
 code execution (CVE-2011-1002).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
