Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-466-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ocaml' package(s) announced via the DLA-466-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ocaml' package(s) announced via the DLA-466-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: OCaml versions 4.02.3 and earlier have a runtime bug that, on 64-bit platforms, causes sizes arguments to an internal memmove call to be sign-extended from 32 to 64-bits before being passed to the memmove function. This leads arguments between 2GiB and 4GiB to be interpreted as larger than they are (specifically, a bit below 2^64), causing a buffer overflow. Arguments between 4GiB and 6GiB are interpreted as 4GiB smaller than they should be, causing a possible information leak.A For Debian 7 Wheezy, these issues have been fixed in ocaml version 3.12.1-4+deb7u1 Affected Software/OS: 'ocaml' package(s) on Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P
