CVE-2016-7415: Buffer Overflow
First published: Sat Sep 03 2016(Updated: )
International Components for Unicode (ICU) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the Locale class in common/locid.cpp. By sending an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
