CVSS v2.0
9.3
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Vim versions prior to 8.2
Description
The issue is related to a use after free error in the Vim text editor, specifically when using the :lopen and :bwipe commands. This can allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 8.2, update to version 8.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the :lopen and :bwipe commands until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive data when using affected versions of Vim to minimize the risk of exploitation.
