Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vim versions prior to 8.2

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the vim text editor. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is associated with the spellsuggest.c component and involves writing beyond the boundaries of a buffer in memory.
