CVE-2016-8606 [CRITICAL] CVE-2016-8606 guile: REPL server vulnerable to HTTP inter-protocol attacks
CVE-2016-8606 guile: REPL server vulnerable to HTTP inter-protocol attacks
GNU Guile, an implementation of the Scheme language, provides a "REPL server" which is a command prompt that developers can connect to for live coding and debugging purposes. The REPL server is started by the '--listen' command-line option or equivalent API.
It was reported that the REPL server is vulnerable to the HTTP inter-protocol attack
This constitutes a remote code execution vulnerability for developers running a REPL server that listens on a loopback device or private network. Applications that do not run a REPL server, as is usually the case, are unaffected.
