Details

Updated icu packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and
full-featured Unicode services.

A flaw was found in the way ICU processed certain, invalid, encoded data.
If an application used ICU to decode malformed, multibyte, character data,
it may have been possible to bypass certain content protection mechanisms,
or display information in a manner misleading to the user. (CVE-2008-1036)

All users of icu should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
