Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When executing a :s command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the substitution part, it is possible that the recursive :s call causes free-ing of memory which may later then be accessed by the initial :s command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It may also cause a crash of Vim. Version 9.0.2121 contains a fix for this issue.
A heap use-after-free flaw was found in the vim package. When executing a :s command for the first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the substitution part, it is possible that the recursive :s call causes memory to be freed, which may later then be accessed by the initial :s command. This issue may result in Vim crashing.
Отчет
Red Hat considers this as a low impact since it requires the command to be run for the very first time and access to the shell in order to run the payload.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
