+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.
+
+http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2012-5667
+
+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.
