pango: denial of service

Package(s):pango CVE #(s):CVE-2010-0421
Created:March 16, 2010 Updated:March 2, 2011
Description: From the Red Hat advisory:

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.
