    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to using freed memory when the substitute uses a     recursive function call, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to     input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. (CVE-2022-0413)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to illegal memory access and leads to a heap buffer     overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code     execution. (CVE-2022-0417)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to using freed memory which results in a use-after-     free vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or     code execution. (CVE-2022-0443)

    A flaw was found in vim that causes an out-of-range pointer offset vulnerability. This flaw allows an     attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. (CVE-2022-0554)

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in vim's ex_retab() function of indent.c file. This flaw     occurs when repeatedly using :retab. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted     file triggering a heap-overflow. (CVE-2022-0572)

    A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in vim's ga_concat_shorten_esc() function of src/testing.c     file. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted file, triggering a stack-     overflow. This issue can lead to an application crash, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0629)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to a crash when using a special multi-byte character     and leads to an out-of-range vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted     file, leading to a crash or code execution. (CVE-2022-0685)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in vim's find_ucmd() function of usercmd.c file. This flaw     allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted file, triggering a NULL pointer dereference.
    This issue leads to an application crash, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0696)

    A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in vim's win_lbr_chartabsize() function of charset.c file. The issue     occurs due to an incorrect 'vartabstop' value. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a     specially crafted file, triggering a heap-overflow, and can cause an application to crash, eventually     leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0714)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to crashes within specific regexp patterns and     strings and leads to an out-of-range vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially     crafted file, leading to a crash or code execution. (CVE-2022-0729)

    A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in vim's suggest_try_change() function of the spellsuggest.c file.
    This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted file, triggering a heap-overflow and     causing an application to crash, which leads to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0943)

    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in Vim's utf_ptr2char() function of the src/mbyte.c file.
    This flaw occurs because vim is using a buffer line after it has been freed in the old regexp engine. This     flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering a heap use-     after-free that causes an application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-1154)

    A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in vim's get_one_sourceline() function of scriptfile.c file. This     flaw occurs when source can read past the end of the copied line. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a     user into opening a crafted file, triggering a heap-overflow and causing an application to crash, which     leads to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1160)

    A global heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in vim's skip_range() function of the src/ex_docmd.c     file. This flaw occurs because vim uses an invalid pointer with V: in Ex mode. This flaw allows an     attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering a heap buffer overflow that     causes an application to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1381)

    A vulnerability was found in Vim. The issue occurs when using a number in a string for the lambda name,     triggering an out-of-range pointer offset vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into     opening a crafted script containing an argument as a number and then using it as a string pointer to     access any memory location, causing an application to crash and possibly access some memory.
