Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated boost packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The boost package provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries with
emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, when several regular expression objects were created
  simultaneously, such as in a multi-threaded program, the construction of one of
  them sometimes failed. With this update, the object variables have been moved
  from the shared memory to the stack, thereby making the constructing function
  thread safe. (BZ#727895)
  

Users of boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
