Vulnerability Summary Fixed by
VCID-1mjm-3q8j-gyfy
Aliases:
CVE-2012-6123
Chicken before 4.8.0 does not properly handle NUL bytes in certain strings, which allows an attacker to conduct "poisoned NUL byte attack."
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-1tkn-qp52-wqee
Aliases:
CVE-2013-2024
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-6gsw-gc4v-kfgr
Aliases:
CVE-2016-6831
The "process-execute" and "process-spawn" procedures did not free memory correctly when the execve() call failed, resulting in a memory leak. This could be abused by an attacker to cause resource exhaustion or a denial of service. This affects all releases of CHICKEN up to and including 4.11 (it will be fixed in 4.12 and 5.0, which are not yet released).
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-8pu5-kyqa-zfd4
Aliases:
CVE-2017-6949
An issue was discovered in CHICKEN Scheme through 4.12.0. When using a nonstandard CHICKEN-specific extension to allocate an SRFI-4 vector in unmanaged memory, the vector size would be used in unsanitised form as an argument to malloc(). With an unexpected size, the impact may have been a segfault or buffer overflow.
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-bab6-dy1q-7uev
Aliases:
CVE-2012-6124
A casting error in Chicken before 4.8.0 on 64-bit platform caused the random number generator to return a constant value. NOTE: the vendor states "This function wasn't used for security purposes (and is advertised as being unsuitable)."
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-e7ck-7ksj-z3c3
Aliases:
CVE-2015-8235
Directory traversal vulnerability in Spiffy before 5.4.
4.11.0-1
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-fwe1-7ugg-1qar
Aliases:
CVE-2012-6122
Buffer overflow in the thread scheduler in Chicken before 4.8.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by opening a file descriptor with a large integer value.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-h5qu-27zb-kubf
Aliases:
CVE-2017-11343
Due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-6125, all versions of CHICKEN Scheme up to and including 4.12.0 are vulnerable to an algorithmic complexity attack. An attacker can provide crafted input which, when inserted into the symbol table, will result in O(n) lookup time.
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-mdp1-9eb8-abhz
Aliases:
CVE-2015-4556
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
4.11.0-1
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-pm5g-8tw3-fua4
Aliases:
CVE-2016-6830
The "process-execute" and "process-spawn" procedures in CHICKEN Scheme used fixed-size buffers for holding the arguments and environment variables to use in its execve() call. This would allow user-supplied argument/environment variable lists to trigger a buffer overrun. This affects all releases of CHICKEN up to and including 4.11 (it will be fixed in 4.12 and 5.0, which are not yet released).
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-rhrc-jz9d-k3dr
Aliases:
CVE-2016-9954
The backtrack compilation code in the Irregex package (aka IrRegular Expressions) before 0.9.6 for Scheme allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted regular expression with a repeating pattern.
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-ubyx-t6hh-43c5
Aliases:
CVE-2012-6125
Chicken before 4.8.0 is susceptible to algorithmic complexity attacks related to hash table collisions.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-ukz5-zytb-w3fy
Aliases:
CVE-2014-3776
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-ut16-69u4-f3er
Aliases:
CVE-2013-4385
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-v93r-udz9-r7eu
Aliases:
CVE-2013-1874
Untrusted search path vulnerability in csi in Chicken before 4.8.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse .csirc in the current working directory.
4.9.0.1-1
Affected by 9 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-yxpk-st78-k3ha
Aliases:
CVE-2017-9334
An incorrect "pair?" check in the Scheme "length" procedure results in an unsafe pointer dereference in all CHICKEN Scheme versions prior to 4.13, which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by passing an improper list to an application that calls "length" on it.
4.13.0-1
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-yy7n-3mvt-mqdn
Aliases:
CVE-2014-9651
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chicken, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
