CVE-2022-0554

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

Description The issue is related to the enter buffer() function in the Vim text editor, which is associated with an out-of-bounds pointer offset. This allows a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8.2, update to version 8.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the enter buffer() function until a patch is available.
