Debian 5.0 DSA-1889-1 Critical: ICU Multibyte Sequence Bypass

It was discovered that the ICU unicode library performed incorrect
processing of invalid multibyte sequences, resulting in potential
bypass of security mechanisms.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6-2etch3.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.8.1-3+lenny2.

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

We recommend that you upgrade your icu packages.
