CVE-2012-2677

Published: 25 July 2012

Integer overflow in the ordered_malloc function in boost/pool/pool.hpp in Boost Pool before 3.9 makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large memory chunk size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
commit 78337 should also be checked.
fix is still only in -sandbox repo, and not in trunk or
release branches. 1.50 came out without it.
vulnerability is in .hpp files, so anything built with
boost/pool needs to be rebuilt.
only ceph and mdds are in main and use boost/pool/pool.*
don't seem to be directly affected. Downgrading to low.
