## Description

Integer overflow in the pango\_glyph\_string\_set\_size function in
pango/glyphstring.c in Pango before 1.24 allows context-dependent attackers
to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code via a long glyph string that triggers a heap-based buffer
overflow, as demonstrated by a long document.location value in Firefox.
