Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0565-01
Posted Mar 21, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0565-01 - 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, an interactive top level system, parsing tools, a replay debugger, a documentation generator, and a comprehensive library. Security Fix: An integer conversion flaw was found in the way OCaml's String handled its length. Certain operations on an excessively long String could trigger a buffer overflow or result in an information leak.
