    Package : pango1.0
    Vulnerability : NULL pointer dereference
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-0064

    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.

    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.
