Summary
The remote host is missing an update to pango1.0 announced via advisory DSA 2178-1.
Insight
Insight
It was discovered that pango did not check for memory allocation failures, causing a NULL pointer dereference with an adjustable offset. This can lead to application crashes and potentially arbitrary code execution.
Solution
Solution
The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.28.3-1+squeeze2. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your pango1.0 packages.
