USN-2522-1 introduced a regression in ICU.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2522-2 March 06, 2015 icu regression ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: USN-2522-1 introduced a regression in ICU. Software Description: - icu: International Components for Unicode library Details: USN-2522-1 fixed vulnerabilities in ICU. On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, the font patches caused a regression when using LibreOffice Calc. The patches have been temporarily backed out until the regression is investigated. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: 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. 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 crafted data, an attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-7923, 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 attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary codewith the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-7940) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: libicu48 4.8.1.1-3ubuntu0.4 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

security advisoryRed HatcriticalRHEL 6: RHSA-2011:1085-01 Important: freetype Execution Risk
Updated freetype packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: freetype security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:1085-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011:1085.html Issue date: 2011-07-21 CVE Names: CVE-2011-0226 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated freetype packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently. These packages provide the FreeType 2 font engine. A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed certain PostScript Type 1 fonts. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with anapplication linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2011-0226) Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The X server must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259 5.
