CVE-2011-0064
Description
From CVE.org
The hb_buffer_ensure function in hb-buffer.c in HarfBuzz, as used in Pango 1.28.3, Firefox, and other products, does not verify that memory reallocations succeed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted OpenType font data that triggers use of an incorrect index.
Statement
This issue did not affect the versions of qt shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6.
