Debian: DSA-1762-1 Critical Update For ICU Cross-Site Scripting

It was discovered that icu, the internal components for Unicode, did
not properly sanitise invalid encoded data, which could lead to cross-site scripting attacks.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.8.1-3+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6-2etch2.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.1-1.


We recommend that you upgrade your icu packages.
