Vim · Vim · CVE-2022-1851
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Vim versions prior to 8.2
**Description**
The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the Vim text editor, specifically in the `gchar cursor` function of the `misc1.c` component. This allows a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 8.2, update to version 8.2 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive data until the update is applied.
