Debian DSA-4496-1 : pango1.0 - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 127492

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Benno Fuenfstueck discovered that Pango, a library for layout and rendering of text with an emphasis on internationalization, is prone to a heap-based buffer overflow flaw in the pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels function. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw for denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the pango1.0 packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 1.42.4-7~deb10u1.
