Description
Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry found that the bost library did not
properly perform input validation on regular expressions. An attacker
could exploit this by sening a specially crafted regular expression to
an application linked against boost and cause a denial of service via
an application crash.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
