Slackware Security[slackware-security] boost (SSA:2024-270-01)
New boost packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/boost-1.78.0-i586-3_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Get rid of hardcoded temporary paths in the cmake files.
Since these paths point to a location that an unprivileged user could
create and populate with files that could be picked up during a build,
it's possible this bug could be used for malicious purposes.
Thanks to jmacloue.
