A flaw as found in Vim, an open source command line text editor. When parsing relative ex addresses, one may unintentionally cause an overflow. Ironically, this happens in the existing overflow check because the line number becomes negative and LONG_MAX - lnum will cause the overflow. The impact is low because user interaction is required and a crash may not happen in all situations.

Mitigation

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.
