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.

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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17     and earlier, 6 Update 43 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 41 and earlier; and OpenJDK 6 and 7; allows remote     attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to 2D. 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)

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

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

An update of the icu package has been released.

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.

icu was updated to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

CVE-2014-8147: The resolveImplicitLevels function in common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm implementation in ICU4C in International Components for Unicode (ICU) used an integer data type that is inconsistent with a header file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted text (bsc#929629).

CVE-2014-8146: The resolveImplicitLevels function in common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm implementation in ICU4C in International Components for Unicode (ICU) did not properly track directionally isolated pieces of text, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted text (bsc#929629).

CVE-2016-6293: The uloc_acceptLanguageFromHTTP function in common/uloc.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ did not ensure that there is a '\0' character at the end of a certain temporary array, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a call with a long httpAcceptLanguage argument (bsc#990636).

CVE-2017-7868: International Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ 2017-02-13 has an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer overflow related to the utf8TextAccess function in common/utext.cpp and the utext_moveIndex32* function (bsc#1034674)

CVE-2017-17484: The ucnv_UTF8FromUTF8 function in ucnv_u8.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ mishandled ucnv_convertEx calls for UTF-8 to UTF-8 conversion, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted string, as demonstrated by ZNC (bnc#1072193)

CVE-2017-15422: An integer overflow in icu during persian calendar date processing could lead to incorrect years shown (bnc#1077999)

According to the version of the icu packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - 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)

  - 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. Security Fix(es): 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)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3458-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled certain inputs. 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
