CVE-2016-6830 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (chicken), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
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).
