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 collator implementation in i18n/ucol.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 52 through SVN revision 293126, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not initialize memory for a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted character sequence.
