+ <description>
+ <p>An error in the _canonicalize() function in uloc.cpp could cause a
+ stack-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted locale
+ representation using an application linked against ICU, possibly
+ resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ process or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All ICU users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/icu-49.1.1-r1"
+ </code>
