NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocaml-camlp4-devel package and not the ocaml-camlp4-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The caml_ba_deserialize function in byterun/bigarray.c in the standard library in OCaml 4.06.0 has an integer overflow which, in situations where marshalled data is accepted from an untrusted source, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted object.
