Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the "read-string!" procedure in the "extras" unit in CHICKEN stable before 4.8.0.5 and development snapshots before 4.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a "#f" value in the NUM argument.

Desbordamiento de búfer en el procedimiento "read-string!" en la unidad "extras" en el establo CHICKEN en versiones anteriores a 4.8.0.5 e instantaneas de desarrollo en versiones anteriores a 4.8.3 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) y posiblemente ejecutar un código arbitrario a través de un valor "#f" en el argumento NUM.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 4.10.0-r1 are affected.
