CVE-2022-2289

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim versions prior to 9.0

Description The issue is related to a use after free error in the ex diffgetput() function of the Vim text editor, which involves the use of memory after it has been freed. This could potentially allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0, update to version 9.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the ex diffgetput() function until a patch is available.
