CVE-2012-2677 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:13.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream boost1.49 package and not the boost1.49 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
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.
