kernel: pipe: iovec overrun leading to memory corruption

It was found that the Linux kernel's implementation of vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take into account the I/O vectors that were already processed when retrying after a failed atomic access operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption due to an I/O vector array...

FreeBSD : chicken -- Potential buffer overrun in string-translate* (0da404ad-1891-11e5-a1cf-002590263bf5)

chicken developer Peter Bex reports : Using gcc's Address Sanitizer, it was discovered that the string-translate procedure from the data-structures unit can scan beyond the input string's length up to the length of the source strings in the map that's passed to string-translate. This issue was...

FreeBSD : chicken -- buffer overrun in substring-index[-ci] (e7b7f2b5-177a-11e5-ad33-f8d111029e6a)

chicken developer Moritz Heidkamp reports : The substring-index-ci procedures of the data-structures unit are vulnerable to a buffer overrun attack when passed an integer greater than zero as the optional START argument. As a work-around you can switch to SRFI 13's string-contains procedure which...
