*** Bug 1444098 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Doran Moppert 2017-05-31 01:41:14 EDT
The OOB writes demonstrated by the oss-fuzz crasher are small writes in a libicu internal structure, with very little control (size, location or content) accessible to the attacker.  The risk of ACE through this flaw is very small.
