Descriptions

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.

Desbordamiento de entero en la función de impulso ordered_malloc en boost/pool/pool.hpp en Boost Pool anterior a v3.9 hace más fácil para los atacantes dependientes de contexto llevar a cabo los ataques relacionados con la memoria tales como desbordamientos de búfer a través de un valor de gran tamaño, lo que provoca menos memoria que se asignará de lo esperado.
