Summary
vim vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly processing Vim buffers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform illegal memory access and expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-0554)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing bounds checks for column numbers when replacing tabs with spaces or spaces with tabs, which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0572)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing validation of data that contained special multi-byte characters, which could cause an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0685)

It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly processing data used to define indentation in a file, which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0714)

It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly processing certain regular expression patterns and strings, which could cause an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0729)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing bounds checks when executing spell suggestion commands, which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0943)

It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly performing bounds checks when processing invalid commands with composing characters in Ex mode, which could cause a buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1616)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly processing latin1 data when issuing Ex commands, which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1619)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing memory management when dealing with invalid regular expression patterns in buffers, which could cause a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1620)

It was discovered that Vim was not properly processing invalid bytes when performing spell check operations, which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1621)
