Título:	CentOS Update for boost CESA-2013:0668 centos6
Resumen:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'boost'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Descripción:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'boost' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The boost packages provide free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source libraries with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. A flaw was found in the way the ordered_malloc() routine in Boost sanitized the 'next_size' and 'max_size' parameters when allocating memory. If an application used the Boost C++ libraries for memory allocation, and performed memory allocation based on user-supplied input, an attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-2677) All users of boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to fix this issue. Affected Software/OS: boost on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
