CVSS 4.3 osv_ocaml
Description
The internal Point.of_octets function is missing a length check for compressed points, and thus is raising an exception when a short buffer is provided. This affects all NIST curves (P-256, P-384, P-521) and both `Dsa.pub_of_octets` and `Dh.key_exchange` functions. ## Fix The fix is to check the length of the provided buffer. ## Timeline - July 28th 2026: report to security@ocaml.org - August 7th: release of mirage-crypto-pk 2.3.0 and security advisory
