      "value": "App::Ack versions before 3.10.0 for Perl allow memory exhaustion via an unbounded context value in a project .ackrc.\n\nack searches up the directory hierarchy from the current directory for a project .ackrc and loads its options. The -B and -C context options accepted any positive integer, and ack sized the before-context buffer to that value, so a project .ackrc setting --before-context=100000000 made ack allocate a buffer of 100 million elements.\n\nA project .ackrc committed to an untrusted repository can abort ack with an out-of-memory condition."

      "value": "Las versiones de App::Ack anteriores a la 3.10.0 para Perl permiten el agotamiento de la memoria a través de un valor de contexto ilimitado en un archivo .ackrc de proyecto.\n\nack busca en la jerarquía de directorios desde el directorio actual un archivo .ackrc de proyecto y carga sus opciones. Las opciones de contexto -B y -C aceptaban cualquier entero positivo, y ack dimensionaba el búfer de contexto anterior a ese valor, por lo que una configuración en un archivo .ackrc de proyecto de --before-context=100000000 hacía que ack asignara un búfer de 100 millones de elementos.\n\nUn archivo .ackrc de proyecto subido a un repositorio no confiable puede abortar ack con una condición de falta de memoria."
