Tracker summary

CVE-2012-2677 low priority: Ubuntu including 7 source packages (boost, boost1.40, …), 168 status rows across 24 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, disco, eoan, focal, groovy, hardy, hirsute, lucid, natty, oneiric, precise, quantal, raring, saucy, trusty, upstream, utopic, vivid, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 150, ignored 8, needs-triage 6, not-affected 3, released 1.

Description:

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.
