Input validation error in Apache Commons Pool - CVE-2012-2677

Vulnerability identifier: #VU43781

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2677

CWE-ID: CWE-20

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

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.
