(Pango: Buffer overflow)

    A buffer overflow has been discovered in Pango’s
      pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels function.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
      string with functions like pango_itemize, possibly resulting in execution
      of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of
      Service condition.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
