Detail

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and other operating systems omits some invalid character sequences during conversion of some character encodings, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Title: DSA-1762-1 icu -- insufficient input sanitising
Description: It was discovered that icu, the internal components for Unicode, did not properly sanitise invalid encoded data, which could lead to cross- site scripting attacks. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.1-3+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.6-2etch2. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your icu packages.

Title: RHSA-2009:0296 -- icu security update (Moderate)
Description: Updated icu packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and full-featured Unicode services. A flaw was found in the way ICU processed certain, invalid, encoded data. If an application used ICU to decode malformed, multibyte, character data, it may have been possible to bypass certain content protection mechanisms, or display information in a manner misleading to the user. (CVE-2008-1036) All users of icu should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
