Vim · Vim · CVE-2017-6350
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
vim versions prior to 8.0.0378
**Description**
The issue arises from an integer overflow at an unserialize uep memory allocation site. This occurs when vim does not properly validate values for tree length while reading a corrupted undo file, potentially leading to buffer overflows.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 8.0.0378, update to version 8.0.0378 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of corrupted undo files until a patch is applied. Restrict access to potentially malicious undo files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
