{"id":"CVE-2016-6831","details":"The \"process-execute\" and \"process-spawn\" procedures did not free memory correctly when the execve() call failed, resulting in a memory leak. This could be abused by an attacker to cause resource exhaustion or a denial of service. This affects all releases of CHICKEN up to and including 4.11 (it will be fixed in 4.12 and 5.0, which are not yet released).","modified":"2026-03-12T22:27:41.127807Z","published":"2017-01-10T15:59:00.470Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/92550"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chicken-announce/2016-08/msg00001.html"}],"affected":[{"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"4.11.0"}]}],"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2016-6831.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
