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.
