A flaw has been found in Boost Serialization up to 1.91. The impacted element is an unknown function. This manipulation causes improper validation of specified type of input. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The maintainer was notified on Aug 2025 and a disclosure deadline was set for 90 days. The maintainer acknowledged but postponed indefinitely citing time concerns. No patch is currently available and the disclosure deadline has expired.

Mercedes-Benz head-unit NTG6 contains functions to import or export profile settings over USB. Some values of this table are serialized archive according boost library. The boost library contains a vulnerability/null pointer dereference.

inftrees.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging improper pointer arithmetic

A security flaw was found in the way UTF-8 decoder of boost, set of free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries, performed validation of certain UTF-8 encoded sequences. If an application, linked against boost used the UTF-8 decoding routines for input validation (and depended at the results), an attacker could use this flaw to confuse the validator into (errorneously) accepting them as valid.

Boost is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the orderedmalloc() function. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

The getrepeattype function in basicregexcreator.hpp in the Boost regex library (aka Boost.Regex) in Boost 1.33 and 1.34 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and crash) via an invalid regular expression.

regex/v4/perlmatchernonrecursive.hpp in the Boost regex library (aka Boost.Regex) in Boost 1.33 and 1.34 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (failed assertion and crash) via an invalid regular expression.
