Base 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 9.0.1145

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds write in the Vim text editor, specifically in the do string sub() function (eval.c), which is caused by a boundary error when processing untrusted input data. This can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.1145, update to version 9.0.1191 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the do string sub() function until a patch is available.
