It was discovered that Pango incorrectly handled certain memory
reallocation failures. If a user were tricked into displaying text in a way
that would cause a reallocation failure, an attacker could cause a denial
of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking
the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 LTS and 10.10.
