CVE-2015-8393 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:10 pcre3 to version 2:8.38-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pcre3 package and not the pcre3 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
