An AVX-512-optimized implementation of the mempcpy function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.27 and earlier may write data beyond the target buffer, leading to a buffer overflow in __mempcpy_avx512_no_vzeroupper.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
