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.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.02%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
