Details
It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled memory operations when
processing fonts. If an application using ICU processed crafted data, an
attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1569, CVE-2013-2383, CVE-2013-2384,
