A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Call-cc CHICKEN 4.8.0.7/4.9.0. This affects an unknown code block. The manipulation of the argument NUM with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the "read-u8vector!" procedure in the srfi-4 unit in CHICKEN stable 4.8.0.7 and development snapshots before 4.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a "#f" value in the NUM argument.

The weakness was presented 05/20/2014 (Website). The advisory is shared at code.call-cc.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-3776 since 05/19/2014.
