<p>International Components for Unicode (ICU) is a set of C/C++ and Java
|

libraries providing Unicode and Globalization support for software

|
applications.

<description>
|
|
<p>An error in the _canonicalize() function in uloc.cpp could cause a
|
|
stack-based buffer overflow.

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted locale
|
|
representation using an application linked against ICU, possibly
|
|
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
|
|
process or a Denial of Service condition.

</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>All ICU users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/icu-49.1.1-r1"

</code>
