It was discovered that OCaml was vulnerable to a runtime bug that, on 64-bit platforms, causes size arguments to internal memmove calls to be sign-extended from 32- to 64-bits before being passed to the memmove function. This leads to arguments between 2GiB and 4GiB being interpreted as larger than they are (specifically, a bit below 2^64), causing a buffer overflow. Further, arguments between 4GiB and 6GiB are interpreted as 4GiB smaller than they should be causing a possible information leak.
Impact :
A remote attacker, able to interact with an OCaml-based application, could possibly obtain sensitive information or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
