grep is the GNU regular expression matcher.

A heap buffer overrun has been fixed in the bmexec_trans function in kwset.c.

A local user can cause Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All grep users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/grep-2.21-r1"
