Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The boost packages provide 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:

• An application compiled against the boost package version prior to
  1.33.1-10.el5_7.2, and run with this exact version installed, could be killed by
  a SIGSEGV signal due to mismatch in the application binary interface (ABI) of
  the regular expression library. That failure could only be fixed by recompiling
  the application. This updated package rectifies the ABI changes in
  aforementioned version of the boost package.
  

Important: any client application which was recompiled against boost version
1.33.1-10.el5_7.2 should be recompiled against this updated package to ensure a
stable ABI and avoid any potential incompatibility. (BZ#727895)

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