Descriptions

pcregrep in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the -q option for binary files, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted file, as demonstrated by a CGI script that sends stdout data to a client.

pcregrep en PCRE en versiones anteriores a 8.38 no maneja correctamente la opción -q para archivos binarios, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible a través de un archivo manipulado, según lo demostrado por una secuencia de comandos CGI que envía datos stdout a un cliente.
