attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1569, CVE-2013-2383, CVE-2013-2384,
CVE-2013-2419)

It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled memory operations when
processing fonts. If an application using ICU processed crafted data, an
attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-6585,
CVE-2014-6591)

It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled memory operations when
processing regular expressions. If an application using ICU processed

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7926, CVE-2014-9654)

It was discovered that ICU collator implementation incorrectly handled
memory operations. If an application using ICU processed crafted data, an
