CVE-2014-8147  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-190  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 icu.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icu package and not the icu package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 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 uses an integer data type that is inconsistent with a header file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted text.
