CVE-2022-1968: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to a use-after-free vulnerability in the utf_ptr2char function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1942: An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in Vim's vim_regsub_both() function in the src/regexp.c file. The flaw can open a command-line window from a substitute expression when a text or buffer is locked. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering an out-of-bounds write that causes an application to crash, possibly reading and modifying some amount of memory contents. CVE-2022-1927: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to a buffer over-read vulnerability in the utf_ptr2char function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1898: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to a use-after-free vulnerability in the find_pattern_in_path function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1897: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the vim_regsub_both function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1886: A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in Vim's utf_head_off() function in the mbyte.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering a heap buffer overflow that causes an application to crash, leading to a denial of service and possibly some amount of memory leak. CVE-2022-1851: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the gchar_cursor function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1796: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to a use after free vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1785: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the ex_cmds function. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1771: A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to Illegal memory access and leads to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. CVE-2022-1769: Buffer Over-read in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4974. CVE-2022-1735: Classic Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4969. CVE-2022-1733: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4968.
