CVE-2012-2677  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 boost-date-time to version 0:1.41.0-15.el6_4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream boost-date-time package and not the boost-date-time package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
