Synopsis: Moderate: ocaml security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:1296-1
Issue Date: 2016-06-23
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-8869
--

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)
