    vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3903)

    A flaw was found in vim. A possible heap-based buffer overflow could allow an attacker to input a     specially crafted file leading to a crash or code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3927)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1728 advisory.

    2024-05-09: CVE-2020-20703 was added to this advisory.

    Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VIM v.8.1.2135 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the     operand parameter. (CVE-2020-20703)

    A flaw was found in vim. A possible heap-based buffer overflow could allow an attacker to input a     specially crafted file leading to a crash or code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3778)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in vim could allow an attacker to input a specially crafted file leading to     memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash or code execution. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3796)

    An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in vim's drawscreen.c win_redr_status() function. This flaw allows     an attacker to trick a user to open a crafted file with specific arguments in vim, triggering an out-of-     bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, and system     availability. (CVE-2021-3872)

    There's an out-of-bounds read flaw in Vim's ex_docmd.c. An attacker who is capable of tricking a user into     opening a specially crafted file could trigger an out-of-bounds read on a memmove operation, potentially     causing an impact to application availability. (CVE-2021-3875)

    A flaw was found in vim. A possible heap use-after-free vulnerability could allow an attacker to input a     specially crafted file leading to a crash or code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3968)

    A flaw was found in vim. A possible heap-based buffer overflow could allow an attacker to input a     specially crafted file leading to a crash or code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3973)

    A flaw was found in vim. A possible use-after-free vulnerability could allow an attacker to input a     specially crafted file leading to a crash or code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3974)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5433-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled parsing of filenames in its search functionality. If a user     were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the application, leading to a     denial of service. (CVE-2021-3973)

    It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when opening and searching the contents of certain     files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the     application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly achieve code execution with user privileges.
    (CVE-2021-3974)

    It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when opening and editing certain files. If a user     were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the application, leading to a     denial of service, or possibly achieve code execution with user privileges. (CVE-2021-3984, CVE-2021-4019,     CVE-2021-4069)

    It was discovered that Vim was using freed memory when dealing with regular expressions inside a visual     selection. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the     application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly achieve code execution with user privileges.
    (CVE-2021-4192)

    It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly performing read and write operations when in visual block mode,     going beyond the end of a line and causing a heap buffer overflow. If a user were tricked into opening a     specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or     possibly achieve code execution with user privileges. (CVE-2022-0261, CVE-2022-0318)

    It was discovered that Vim was using freed memory when dealing with regular expressions through its old     regular expression engine. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could     crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly achieve code execution with user     privileges.
