A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in vim’s ex_finally() function of the src/ex_eval.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering a bug that causes an application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.

Mitigation

Untrusted vim scripts with -s [scriptin] are not recommended to run.
