3. Description:
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 byte sequences
during Unicode conversion. 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-2009-0153)
All users of icu should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve this issue.
