CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 icu to version 52.1-9 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 resolveImplicitLevels function in common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm implementation in ICU4C in International Components for Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 does not properly track directionally isolated pieces of text, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted text.
