CVE-2024-22667

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vim versions prior to 9.0.2142

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the did set langmap() function of the Vim text editor. This overflow occurs because did set langmap in map.c calls sprintf to write to the error buffer that is passed down to the option callback functions. Exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.2142, update to version 9.0.2142 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the did set langmap() function in map.c until a patch is applied. Additionally, be cautious when using the sprintf function to write to the error buffer, as it may lead to a stack-based buffer overflow.
