Description

Google Chrome OS before 26.0.1410.57 relies on a Pango pango-utils.c read_config implementation that loads the contents of the .pangorc file in the user's home directory, and the file referenced by the PANGO_RC_FILE environment variable, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted configuration data.

Affected products

Google ChromeOS: through 26.0.1410.56; 26.0.1410.0, 26.0.1410.1, 26.0.1410.3, 26.0.1410.4, 26.0.1410.5, 26.0.1410.6 (+47)
