FKIE_CVE-2012-2677
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-07-25 19:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:41
Severity
Summary
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.
