Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim
may try to access already freed window structure. Exploitation beyond
crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue has
been addressed in commit 25aabc2b which has been included in release
version 9.0.2106. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
workarounds for this vulnerability.
