-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-9818 2012-06-22 18:23:49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : boost Product : Fedora 17 Version : 1.48.0 Release : 13.fc17 URL : http://www.boost.org Summary : The free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries Description : Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library, in the hopes of establishing "existing practice" for extensions and providing reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. (Some of the libraries have already been proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - This update fixes a bug in Boost.Pool, which could under certain circumstances overflow allocated chunk size. This could have security implications for applications that use Boost pool without sanitizing pool parameters. - Boost.Locale library now contains backend code, which was left out before by mistake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jun 21 2012 Petr Machata <pmachata@redhat.com> - 1.48.0-13 - Build Boost.Locale backends - Resolves: #832265 * Wed Jun 6 2012 Petr Machata <pmachata@redhat.com> - 1.48.0-12 - In Boost.Pool, be careful not to overflow allocated chunk size. - Resolves: #828857 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #832265 - Fails to build when linking with libboost_locale https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832265 [ 2 ] Bug #828857 - boost: ordered_malloc() overflow [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828857 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update boost' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
