CVE-2016-6293 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 icu to version 57.1-4 or higher.
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.
The uloc_acceptLanguageFromHTTP function in common/uloc.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) through 57.1 for C/C++ does not ensure that there is a '\0' character at the end of a certain temporary array, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a call with a long httpAcceptLanguage argument.
