CVE-2026-28364 (GCVE-0-2026-28364)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-27 03:54 – Updated: 2026-06-30 12:08
VLAI
Summary
In OCaml before 4.14.3 and 5.x before 5.4.1, a buffer over-read in Marshal deserialization (runtime/intern.c) enables remote code execution through a multi-phase attack chain. The vulnerability stems from missing bounds validation in the readblock() function, which performs unbounded memcpy() operations using attacker-controlled lengths from crafted Marshal data.
