How to fix?

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.

The backtrack compilation code in the Irregex package (aka IrRegular Expressions) before 0.9.6 for Scheme allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted regular expression with a repeating pattern.
