Hello,

Boost.Locale library in Boost 1.48 to 1.52 including has a security flow.

boost::locale::utf::utf_traits accepted some invalid UTF-8 sequences.

Applications that used these functions for UTF-8 input validation could

expose themself to security threats as invalid UTF-8 sequece would be

considered as valid.

This bug is fixed in upcoming Boost 1.53.

For more details see: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7743

Users who can't upgrade to the latest versions may apply the following patch to

fix the problem.

Artyom Beilis
