Debian DLA-2151-1 : icu security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 134768

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that an integer overflow in the International Components for Unicode (ICU) library could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 52.1-8+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your icu packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
