CVE-2022-1851

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim versions prior to 8.2

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the Vim text editor, specifically in the gchar cursor function of the misc1.c component. This allows 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 restricting access to sensitive data until the update is applied.
