3. Description:

The boost packages provide free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source
libraries with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library.

A flaw was found in the way the ordered_malloc() routine in Boost sanitized
the 'next_size' and 'max_size' parameters when allocating memory. If an
application used the Boost C++ libraries for memory allocation, and
performed memory allocation based on user-supplied input, an attacker could
use this flaw to crash the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the application.
(CVE-2012-2677)

All users of boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to fix this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6: RHSA-2013:0668-01 Moderate Memory Issue

red hat
Calendar Grey March 21, 2013
Dist Redhat Esm H88
The advisory RHSA-2013:0668-01 from Red Hat pertains to a moderate enhancement in security measures. Ensure you remain informed about the latest patch details.
Updated boost packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258

Summary

The boost packages provide free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source libraries with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.
A flaw was found in the way the ordered_malloc() routine in Boost sanitized the 'next_size' and 'max_size' parameters when allocating memory. If an application used the Boost C++ libraries for memory allocation, and performed memory allocation based on user-supplied input, an attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-2677)
All users of boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to fix this issue.
