"The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2021:4591 advisory.
- ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification through
14.0. It permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft
source code that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and
interpreters. Adversaries can leverage this to encode source code for compilers accepting Unicode such
that targeted vulnerabilities are introduced invisibly to human reviewers. NOTE: the Unicode Consortium
offers the following alternative approach to presenting this concern. An issue is noted in the nature of
international text that can affect applications that implement support for The Unicode Standard and the
Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (all versions). Due to text display behavior when text includes left-to-
right and right-to-left characters, the visual order of tokens may be different from their logical order.
Additionally, control characters needed to fully support the requirements of bidirectional text can
further obfuscate the logical order of tokens. Unless mitigated, an adversary could craft source code such
that the ordering of tokens perceived by human reviewers does not match what will be processed by a
compiler/interpreter/etc. The Unicode Consortium has documented this class of vulnerability in its
document, Unicode Technical Report #36, Unicode Security Considerations. The Unicode Consortium also
provides guidance on mitigations for this class of issues in Unicode Technical Standard #39, Unicode
Security Mechanisms, and in Unicode Standard Annex #31, Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax. Also, the
BIDI specification allows applications to tailor the implementation in ways that can mitigate misleading
visual reordering in program text; see HL4 in Unicode Standard Annex #9, Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
