NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icu package and not the icu package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ures_getByKeyWithFallback function in common/uresbund.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) before 54.1 for C/C++ allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted uloc_getDisplayName call.
