Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ICU, the worst of which
could allow remote code execution.

Background
==========

ICU is a mature, widely used set of C/C++ and Java libraries providing
Unicode and Globalization support for software applications.

Affected packages
=================

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ICU. Please review the
referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
