47 |
Will Drewry (Google Security) reported a vulnerability in the regular |
48 |
expression engine when using back references to capture \0 characters |
49 |
(CVE-2007-4770). He also found that the backtracking stack size is not |
50 |
limited, possibly allowing for a heap-based buffer overflow |
51 |
(CVE-2007-4771). |

<impact type="high"> |
55 |
<p> |
56 |
A remote attacker could submit specially crafted regular expressions to |
57 |
an application using the library, possibly resulting in the remote |
58 |
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the |
59 |
application or a Denial of Service. |
60 |
</p> |

<workaround> |

<p> |
64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
65 |

<resolution> |
68 |
<p> |
69 |
All International Components for Unicode users should upgrade to the |
70 |
latest version: |
71 |

# emerge --sync |
74 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/icu-3.8.1-r1"</code> |
