Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0305-03 - The boost packages provide free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source libraries with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. Invalid pointer dereference flaws were found in the way the Boost regular expression library processed certain, invalid expressions. An attacker able to make an application using the Boost library process a specially-crafted regular expression could cause that application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
