Last modified
CVE-2012-5667 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple integer overflows in GNU Grep before 2.11 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a long input line that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 1.02% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
