Description

A flaw was found in Vim, an open source command-line text editor. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted undo or swap file. When Vim processes this file, an out-of-bounds read occurs, which can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information from memory or cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS).

Statement

This vulnerability was introduced in Vim version 9.2.0320. Because Red Hat products do not ship this version, they are unaffected.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
