Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:161-1
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : icu
Date : April 2, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated icu packages fix security vulnerabilities:
The Regular Expressions package in International Components for Unicode
(ICU) 52 before SVN revision 292944 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified
other impact via vectors related to a zero-length quantifier or
look-behind expression (CVE-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7926).
The collator implementation in i18n/ucol.cpp in International
Components for Unicode (ICU) 52 through SVN revision 293126 does not
initialize memory for a data structure, which allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact
via a crafted character sequence (CVE-2014-7940).
It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled memory operations
when processing fonts. If an application using ICU processed crafted
data, an attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program
(CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6591).
Update:
Packages for Mandriva Business Server 1 are now being provided.
