Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Boost, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors within the parsing of regular expressions in boost/regex/v4/basic_regex_parser.hpp. These can be exploited to crash an application linked against the Boost library via specially crafted regular expressions.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.34.1. Other versions may also be affected.
