Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the "read-u8vector!" procedure in the srfi-4 unit in CHICKEN stable 4.8.0.7 and development snapshots before 4.9.1 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 buffer en el procedimiento 'read-u8vector!' en la unidad srfi-4 en CHICKEN Stable 4.8.0.7 y Development Snapshots anterior a 4.9.1 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) y posiblemente ejecutar 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.
