Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67060
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0140
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2010:0140.

Pango is a library used for the layout and rendering of internationalized
text.

An input sanitization flaw, leading to an array index error, was found in
the way the Pango font rendering library synthesized the Glyph Definition
(GDEF) table from a font's character map and the Unicode property database.
If an attacker created a specially-crafted font file and tricked a local,
unsuspecting user into loading the font file in an application that uses
the Pango font rendering library, it could cause that application to crash.
(CVE-2010-0421)

updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
