Vim is 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. Impact is low, user
interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations.
This issue has been addressed in commit 060623e which has been included
in release version 9.0.2110. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no
known workarounds for this vulnerability.
