CVSS v3.1
7.8
High
| 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 9.0.0490
Description
The issue is related to a Use After Free condition in the
getcmdline int() function of the Vim text editor, which involves the use of memory after it has been freed. This can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by opening a specially crafted malicious file.Recommendations
For versions prior to 9.0.0490, update to version 9.0.0490 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the
getcmdline int() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious files to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
