Embedded ICU copy in texlive-bin (was: [SECURITY] [DSA 1889-1] New icu packages correct multibyte sequence parsing)
Hi,
This DSA made me aware that there might be a problem in texlive. It
contains a changed copy of libicu; the changes are needed by xetex, and
xetex upstream intends to have them merged. But for the time being, the
code copy is there.
I fear I won't have time to work on a security update of texlive right
now, and Norbert is busy as well.
I have added the information to embedded-code-copies, a diff (which also
includes some more TeXLive-related corrections) is attached.
Regards, Frank
