High

Base vector

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 9.0.0104

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the Vim text editor, specifically in the utf ptr2char function, which can lead to reading data beyond the buffer boundaries in memory. This can potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0104, update to version 9.0.0104 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the utf ptr2char function until a patch is applied.
