+ <title>International Components for Unicode: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the International Components
+ for Unicode, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
+ or a Denial of Service.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Will Drewry (Google Security) reported a vulnerability in the regular
+ expression engine when using back references to capture \0 characters
+ (CVE-2007-4770). He also found that the backtracking stack size is not
+ limited, possibly allowing for a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2007-4771).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could submit specially crafted regular expressions to
+ an application using the library, possibly resulting in the remote
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All International Components for Unicode users should upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/icu-3.8.1-r1&quot;</code>
