Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vim versions prior to 9.0.0213

Description The issue is related to a Use After Free condition in the string quote() function of the Vim text editor, which is associated with the use of memory after it has been freed. This could allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0213, update to version 9.0.0213 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the string quote() function until a patch is available.
