Publication date: 31 Jan 2015
Modification date: 31 Jan 2015
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 4
CVE: CVE-2014-7923 , CVE-2014-7926 , CVE-2014-7940

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).
