It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1826 advisory.

  • vim 8.2.2348 is affected by null pointer dereference, allows local attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) via the ex_buffer_all method. (CVE-2021-3236)

  • Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1846. (CVE-2023-4734)

  • Out-of-bounds Write in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1847. (CVE-2023-4735)

  • Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1848. (CVE-2023-4738)

  • Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1331. (CVE-2023-4751)

  • Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1873. (CVE-2023-4781)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
