FreeBSD 8 uses linux-f10 as its default linuxulator, and in that, pango
has been updated to 1.22.3, which doesn't seem to suffer from the same
vulnerabilities. Or at least, they haven't yet been exposed! ;-)

You may be able to use f10 on 7.2 - set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in
/etc/sysctl.conf, and 

OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10

in /etc/make.conf, then reinstall all your linux stuff. I did this before
moving on to 8BETA1 and it worked OK. I think I ended up deleting all the
old stuff, before installing afresh. As all the packages are already 
compiled, it shouldn't take long.
