Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882514
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for ocaml CESA-2016:1296 centos7
Summary:Check the version of ocaml
Description:Summary:
Check the version of ocaml

Vulnerability Insight:
OCaml is a high-level, strongly-typed,
functional, and object-oriented programming language from the ML family of
languages. The ocaml packages contain two batch compilers
(a fast bytecode compiler and an optimizing native-code compiler), an
interactive top level system, parsing tools (Lex, Yacc, Camlp4), a replay
debugger, a documentation generator, and a comprehensive library.

Security Fix(es):

* OCaml versions 4.02.3 and earlier have 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. (CVE-2015-8869)

Affected Software/OS:
ocaml on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
