Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'pango' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Insight
Insight
Pango is a library used for the layout and rendering of internationalized text. Will Drewry discovered an integer overflow flaw in Pango's pango_glyph_string_set_size() function. If an attacker is able to pass an arbitrarily long string to Pango, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application calling Pango. (CVE-2009-1194) pango and evolution28-pango users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this update, you must restart your system or restart the X server for the update to take effect. Note: Restarting the X server closes all open applications and logs you out of your session.
