It was found that CHICKEN did not sanitize the size argument when allocating SRFI-4 vectors, which could lead to segfaults or buffer overflows with some sizes.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.0-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your chicken packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
