  <affected>
    <package name="dev-scheme/chicken" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">3.1.0</unaffected>

    Chicken is a Scheme interpreter and native Scheme to C compiler.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Chicken includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer
    overflows and memory corruption vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted regular
    expressions with Chicken, which could possibly lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive
    information.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Chicken users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-scheme/chicken-3.1.0&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
