Beschreibung

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

A buffer overflow flaw was found in HarfBuzz, an OpenType text shaping
engine used in Pango. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with
an application that uses Pango, it could cause the application to crash or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application. (CVE-2011-3193)

Users of evolution28-pango are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After
