Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: icu security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0090-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0090.html
Issue date: 2008-01-25
CVE Names: CVE-2007-4770 CVE-2007-4771
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
Updated icu packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
3. Description:
The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and
full-featured Unicode services.
Will Drewry reported multiple flaws in the way libicu processed certain
malformed regular expressions. If an application linked against ICU, such
as OpenOffice.org, processed a carefully crafted regular expression, it may
be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running the application.
(CVE-2007-4770, CVE-2007-4771)
All users of icu should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188
5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
429023 - CVE-2007-4770 libicu poor back reference validation
429025 - CVE-2007-4771 libicu incomplete interval handling
