[OE-core] [denzil 09/18] Summary: Security Advisory - boost - CVE-2012-2677

[Mark Hatle]

From: Wei Cai <wei.cai at windriver.com>

[ CQID: WIND00366777 ]

A security flaw was found in the way ordered_malloc() routine implementation in
Boost, the free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries, performed 'next-size'
and 'max_size' parameters sanitization, when allocating memory. If an application,
using the Boost C++ source libraries for memory allocation, was missing
application-level checks for safety of 'next_size' and 'max_size' values, a remote
attacker could provide a specially-crafted application-specific file (requiring
runtime memory allocation it to be processed correctly) that, when opened would lead
to that application crash, or, potentially arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the user running the application.
