Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim versions prior to 9.0.0259

Description The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference error in the do mouse() function of the Vim text editor. This error can be exploited to impact the availability of protected information, potentially allowing a remote attacker to perform a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0259, update to version 9.0.0259 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the do mouse() function in the mouse.c file until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable mouse.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
