<p>An error in the _canonicalize() function in uloc.cpp could cause a
stack-based buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<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 "&gt;=dev-libs/icu-49.1.1-r1"
</code>
</resolution>
