Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim version 8.0

Description The issue is related to the use of memory after it has been freed, which can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by creating a specially crafted source file using the -S option. The exploitation of this issue may have unspecified other impacts.

Recommendations For Vim version 8.0, consider avoiding the use of the -S option with untrusted source files until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of crafted source files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
