CVE-2009-1194

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pango versions prior to 1.24

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow in the pango glyph string set size function, which can be triggered by a long glyph string. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code due to a heap-based buffer overflow. The overflow can be demonstrated using a long document.location value in Firefox.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.24, update to version 1.24 or later to resolve the issue.
