We consider the pricing of credit default swaps (CDSs) with the reference asset assumed to follow a geometric Brownian motion with a fast mean-reverting stochastic volatility, which is often observed in the financial market. To establish the pricing mechanics of the CDS, we set up a default model, under which the fair price of the CDS containing the unknown ``no default'' probability is derived first. It is shown that the ``no default'' probability is equivalent to the price of a down-and-out binary option written on the same reference asset. Based on the perturbation approach, we obtain an approximated but closed-form pricing formula for the spread of the CDS. It is also shown that the accuracy of our solution is in the order of $\mathscr O(\epsilon )$.
