Hi

Very surprisingly the output of “avast -V” command is not in the standard pipe. Easy way to check it: avast -V > myfile create a empty file (RHEL/Centos)…
Same for avast -h and I guess all parameters…

Is there any security consideration to do so?

Any chance you fix that?

Thanks in advance,
Regards

Hello,
thanks for reporting this; this is a bug, but not a security issue: stdout behaves differently in interactive and noninteractive mode; unfortunately we _exit() instead of exit() after printing the information so atexit is not called and stdout is not flushed.
We will have to fix this.
Kind regards,
