NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icu package and not the icu package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Regular Expressions package in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 52 before SVN revision 292944, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to a look-behind expression.
