Description Andreis Vinogradovs ( slepnoga ) 2012-12-26 21:56:09 UTC

grep is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. 

 Successful attacks will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. 

grep versions prior to 2.11 are vulnerable.
