FreeBSD : pango -- integer overflow (4b172278-3f46-11de-becb-001cc0377035)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 38751
Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description
oCERT reports :Pango suffers from a multiplicative integer overflow which may lead to a potentially exploitable, heap overflow depending on the calling conditions.
For example, this vulnerability is remotely reachable in Firefox by creating an overly large document.location value but only results in a process-terminating, allocation error (denial of service).
The affected function is pango_glyph_string_set_size. An overflow check when doubling the size neglects the overflow possible on the subsequent allocation.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
