Slackware 15.0: 2024-270-01 moderate: Boost package update and security fix
slackware
September 26, 2024
New boost packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/boost-1.78.0-i586-3_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. Get rid of hardcoded temporary paths in the cmake files. Since these paths point to a location that an unprivileged user could create and populate with files that could be picked up during a build, it's possible this bug could be used for malicious purposes. Thanks to jmacloue. (* Security fix *)
