Heap-based Buffer Overflow in vim/vim

A flaw in Vim allows attackers to write data beyond the intended memory boundaries, potentially causing the application to crash or execute malicious code. This happens due to improper memory management when handling certain input.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Vim triggered through malformed input that bypasses boundary checks on heap-allocated memory. Requires user interaction (opening a crafted file), leading to memory corruption, denial of service, or arbitrary code execution depending on exploitation constraints.
