Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2015-01-23 12:13:54 UTC
Google Chrome bug is:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=430353

However, the bug is currently not public.  However, the following commit can be identified using the bug id:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/deps/icu/+/3af4ce5982311035e5f36803d547c0befa576c8c

It covers two Chrome bugs, the other one is associated with CVE-2014-7926 also fixed in Chrome 40.0.2214.91.

The commit references ICU upstream bugs, which are also currently non-public.  ICU bug and commit links follow:

http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11369
http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/changeset/36727
"Regex, fix incorrect optimization of patterns with a zero length quantifier {0}"

http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11370
http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/changeset/36724
"Regex, add missing range check of length of a look-behind expression."

I do not currently see any information that would allow mapping the two ICU changes to Google Chrome CVEs.
