Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OCaml versions 3.12.1 and earlier

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, by providing crafted input to an application that uses hash tables. This is possible because OCaml computes hash values without properly restricting the ability to predictably trigger hash collisions.

Recommendations For versions 3.12.1 and earlier, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
