Fedora 40: FEDORA-2025-f1288edd80 critical: abseil-cpp integer overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey February 10, 2025
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Critical update for abseil-cpp in Fedora 40 addresses integer overflow risk. Important security patch release information.
Update to 20240116.3 Fix potential integer overflow in hash container create/resize

Summary

Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ library code designed to augment

the C++ standard library. The Abseil library code is collected from

Google's own C++ code base, has been extensively tested and used in

production, and is the same code we depend on in our daily coding lives.

In some cases, Abseil provides pieces missing from the C++ standard; in

others, Abseil provides alternatives to the standard for special needs we've

found through usage in the Google code base. We denote those cases clearly

within the library code we provide you.

Abseil is not meant to be a competitor to the standard library; we've just

found that many of these utilities serve a purpose within our code base,

and we now want to provide those resources to the C++ community as a whole.
