The patch to fix CVE-2012-5667
Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=686605&action=diff
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.

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [other]
This version of GNU Grep has been abandoned upstream and they are no longer
accepting patches. This is not a backport.
