CVEs (cve.mitre.org):	CVE-2009-0153

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 byte sequences
during Unicode conversion. 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-2009-0153)

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

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
