CVE-2014-8147

The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm implementation uses an integer
data type that is inconsistent with a header file, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc
followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary code via
crafted text.

CVE-2015-4760

The Layout Engine was missing multiple boundary checks. These could
lead to buffer overflows and memory corruption. A specially crafted
file could cause an application using ICU to parse untrusted font
files to crash and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
