Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
Marc Schoenefeld discovered that Pango incorrectly handled certain Glyph Definition (GDEF) tables. If a user were tricked into displaying text with a specially crafted font, an attacker could cause Pango to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 9.10. (CVE-2010-0421)Dan Rosenberg discovered that Pango incorrectly handled certain FT_Bitmap objects. If a user were tricked into displaying text with a specially- crafted font, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0020)
It was discovered that Pango incorrectly handled certain memory reallocation failures.
