Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Boost versions 1.33.1 through 1.41.0
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the ordered malloc function in boost/pool/pool.hpp in Boost Pool, which can lead to memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large memory chunk size value. This can cause less memory to be allocated than expected, potentially disrupting the availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be performed remotely.
Recommendations
For Boost versions 1.33.1 through 1.41.0, update to a version later than 1.41.0 to resolve the issue.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
