+  <background>
+    <p>OCaml is a high-level, strongly-typed, functional, and object-oriented
+      programming language from the ML family of languages.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>A bad sanitization of environment variables: CAML_CPLUGINS,
+      CAML_NATIVE_CPLUGINS and CAML_BYTE_CPLUGINS in the OCaml compiler allows
+      the execution of raised privileges via external code.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A local attacker, by using specially crafted environment variables,
+      could possibly escalate privileges to the root group.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All OCaml users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+    
+    <code>
+      # emerge --sync
+      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/ocaml-4.04.2"
