Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the doInterval function in regexcmp.cpp in libicu in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3.8.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a regular expression that writes a large amount of data to the backtracking stack. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-office-openoffice
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-office-openoffice-bin
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-dev-libs-icu
