Title:
  Security issues (solved in Debian) - affecting icu52 in trusty

Status in icu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Date Reported:
  19 Apr 2017

  Security database references:
  In the Debian bugtracking system: 860314.
  In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2017-7867, CVE-2017-7868.

  More information:
  It was discovered that icu, the International Components for Unicode library, did not correctly validate its input. An attacker could use this problem to trigger an out-of-bound write through a heap-based buffer overflow, thus causing a denial of service via application crash, or potential execution of arbitrary code.

  For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
  in version 52.1-8+deb8u5.
