Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - Will Drewry reported multiple flaws in how libicu processed certain malformed regular expressions. If an application linked against libicu, such as OpenOffice.org, processed a carefully-crafted regular expression, it could potentially cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Problem Description:

Will Drewry reported multiple flaws in how libicu processed certain
malformed regular expressions. If an application linked against
libicu, such as OpenOffice.org, processed a carefully-crafted regular
expression, it could potentially cause the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the application.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
