+* CVE-2012-4412 The strcoll implementation caches indices and rules for
+ large collation sequences to optimize multiple passes. This cache
+ computation may overflow for large collation sequences and may cause a
+ stack or buffer overflow. This is now fixed to use a slower algorithm
+ which does not use a cache if there is an integer overflow.

* CVE-2012-4424 The strcoll implementation uses malloc to cache indices and
rules for large collation sequences to optimize multiple passes and falls
back to alloca if malloc fails, resulting in a possible stack overflow.
