Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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 fixed in master 8a46020, and it will make its way into CHICKEN 4.10.

This bug is present in all released versions of CHICKEN.

Solution

Update the affected package.
