CVE-2009-2295 affects the ocaml-camlimages package in Fedora 11, addressing critical integer overflow vulnerabilities; discover the details of this patch.
CVE 2009-2295

Summary

CamlImages is an image processing library for Objective CAML, which provides:

basic functions for image processing and loading/saving, various image file

formats (hence providing a translation facility from format to format),

and an interface with the Caml graphics library allows to display images

in the Graphics module screen and to mix them with Caml drawings

In addition, the library can handle huge images that cannot be (or can hardly

be) stored into the main memory (the library then automatically creates swap

files and escapes them to reduce the memory usage).
