GHSA-X8QM-7P8G-QF87

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-17 03:05 – Updated: 2022-05-17 03:05

Details

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).

Severity ?

9.8 (Critical)
