Fabrice, All,

Yes, good to know, but the interesting bit is why we are not affected,
which your commit log fails to specify.

Also, the comment should say so as well. Maybe just something like:

    # Module for Drupal, not installed in Buildroot
    BOOST_IGNORE_CVES +=...

Care to respin with explanations, please?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

It is not because we don't install some optional part of boost, it is
simply that our CVE logic thinks that this CVE applies to our boost
package, whereas it is really for some kind of drupal module:

Ah, it is the other way around, then...

I'll apply to master with a bit of rephrasing to make that obvious,
then.
