Updated boost packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries, with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.
Bug Fix
- BZ#723503
Prior to this update, the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) was not correctly computed on 64-bit architectures during decompression of gzip archives. In this update, constant-width integer types are used to compute CRC to make the results stable across all architectures.
Users of Boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages which fix this bug.
