CVE-2016-6831 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 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).
