Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vim versions prior to 9.0.1143

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the build stl str hl() function of the Vim text editor, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. This is due to a buffer overflow in memory.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.1143, update to version 9.0.1143 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the build stl str hl() function in the buffer.c file until a patch is available.
