Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202105-4 - A buffer overflow in Boost might allow remote attacker(s) to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 1.74.0-r2 are affected.
6128a1c7d5c910a5e4b9bbc78c556bbbe8104690de093b370d56c6d9e8bd3688Mandriva 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.

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.
