AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

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

Description The issue is a heap-based buffer overflow in the vim repository. This overflow is caused by the block insert() function in src/ops.c, which leads to a dynamic memory buffer overflow. An attacker could exploit this issue to cause a buffer overflow.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8.2, update to version 8.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the block insert() function in src/ops.c until a patch is available.
