Insight
Integer overflow in the pango_glyph_string_set_size function in pango/glyphstring.c in Pango before 1.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long glyph string that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. This update corrects the issue. Update: pango for CS4 broke applications like MandrivaUpdate, mcc and so on. This update corrects this problem. Affected: Corporate 4.0
