JSON

A flaw was found in Vim, an open source command line text editor. When using the z= command, the user may overflow the count with values larger than MAX_INT. 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.
