AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim versions prior to 9.0.0804

Description The issue is related to incorrect numerical computations when handling floating-point values in the num divide function of the Vim text editor. This can allow an attacker to access confidential data and cause a denial of service. The problem is associated with a floating-point comparison using an incorrect operator.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0804, update to version 9.0.0804 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the num divide function in the eval.c file until a patch is available.
