CVE-2012-0839

CVE-2012-0839 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting OCaml 3.12.1 and earlier versions. The flaw stems from the OCaml hash function's susceptibility to predictable hash collisions, allowing attackers to craft input that consumes excessive CPU resources when an application processes it within a hash table. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity, and can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, leading to a partial denial of service. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
