There is no fixed version for Debian:8 chicken.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chicken package and not the chicken package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-6125, all versions of CHICKEN Scheme up to and including 4.12.0 are vulnerable to an algorithmic complexity attack. An attacker can provide crafted input which, when inserted into the symbol table, will result in O(n) lookup time.
