Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2012-2677 (CCN-76650)

Assigned:2012-06-05
Published:2012-06-05
Updated:2021-05-26
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.
