Comment 3 Dave Baker 2019-02-28 15:13:29 UTC 
openshift-online-3:
- hosts are affected (package is installed), but it is not used.
- containers are affected (package is installed), but this is limited to the mediawiki (end-user non-priv containers).  The cairo package no longer ships in versions of metrics-hawkular-metrics, ose-metrics-hawkular-metrics later than 3.7.

openshift:
- container ships with 1.15 (not 1.16 which is specifically marked as affected).  Still researching in the bug was present in versions < 1.16.
Comment 4 Dave Baker 2019-02-28 15:20:09 UTC 
Confirmed in source: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/blob/1.15.12/src/cairo-arc.c#L99

The flaw exists in < 1.15.12, which is used in the latest container images here:
