Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-065 - 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. Boost.Locale library in Boost 1.48 to 1.52 including has a security flaw. ): boost::locale::utf::utf_traits accepted some invalid UTF-8 sequences. Applications that used these functions for UTF-8 input validation could expose themselves to security threats as invalid UTF-8 sequence would be considered as valid. The package has been patched to fix above security flaw.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:065

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : boost
Date : April 8, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated boost packages fix security vulnerability:

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 (CVE-2012-2677).

Boost.Locale library in Boost 1.48 to 1.52 including has a security
flaw (CVE-2013-0252): boost::locale::utf::utf_traits accepted some
invalid UTF-8 sequences. Applications that used these functions for
UTF-8 input validation could expose themselves to security threats
as invalid UTF-8 sequece would be considered as valid.

The package has been patched to fix above security flaw.
