Stack-based buffer overflow in the ures_getByKeyWithFallback function in common/uresbund.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) before 54.1 for C/C++ allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted uloc_getDisplayName call.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ICU: missing boundary checks in layout engine (OpenJDK 2D, 8132042) (CVE-2015-4844)

  - icu: Double free in i18n/zonemeta.cpp (CVE-2017-14952)

  - The International Components for Unicode (ICU) functionality in Google Chrome before 22.0.1229.92 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via vectors related to a regular     expression. (CVE-2012-5109)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

NOTE:
    the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another     vendor that this issue is related to checking of [a] glyph table in the International Components for     Unicode (ICU) Layout Engine before 51.2. (CVE-2013-1569)

According to the versions of the icu package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Double free in i18n/zonemeta.cpp in International     Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ through 59.1     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a     crafted string, aka a 'redundant UVector entry clean up     function call' issue.(CVE-2017-14952)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the     ures_getByKeyWithFallback function in     common/uresbund.cpp in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 54.1 for C/C++ allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted     uloc_getDisplayName call.(CVE-2014-9911)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  - The International Components for Unicode (ICU)     libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode     services on a wide variety of platforms. ICU supports     the most current version of the Unicode standard, and     they provide support for supplementary Unicode     characters (needed for GB 18030 repertoire support). As     computing environments become more heterogeneous,     software portability becomes more important. ICU lets     you produce the same results across all the various     platforms you support, without sacrificing performance.
    It offers great flexibility to extend and customize the     supplied services.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3227-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled certain memory operations when processing data. If an     application using ICU processed crafted data, a remote attacker could possibly cause it to crash or     potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for icu fixes the following security issues :

  - Passing a locale string longer than 255 characters to     uloc_getDisplayName() could have caused a buffer     overflow resulting in denial of service or possible code     execution (bsc#1012224, CVE-2014-9911).

Brief introduction 

CVE-2014-9911

Michele Spagnuolo discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted text.

CVE-2016-7415

A stack-based buffer overflow might allow an attacker with control of the locale string to perform a denial of service and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.8.1.1-12+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your icu packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
