An update of the vim package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - vim: buffer overflow (CVE-2020-20703)

  - vim: Heap based buffer overflow in findfile.c (CVE-2021-3973)

  - vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3927, CVE-2021-3968, CVE-2021-4136,     CVE-2022-0213)

This issue occurs because of invalid memory access when compiling the unlet command when a specially     crafted input is processed. This flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially     crafted file into triggering the out-of-bounds read, causing the application to crash, possibly executing     code and corrupting memory. (CVE-2022-2816)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in Vim in the string_quote function in the strings.c file. This     issue occurs because an already freed memory is used when a specially crafted input is processed. This     flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into triggering the     use-after-free, causing the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-2817)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to illegal memory access and leads to a heap buffer     overflow vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash     or code execution. (CVE-2022-2819)

    Buffer Over-read in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0218. (CVE-2022-2845)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in Vim in the find_var_also_in_script function in the evalvars.c     file. This issue occurs because an already freed memory is used when a specially crafted input is     processed. This flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into     triggering the use-after-free, causing the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting     memory. (CVE-2022-2889)

    A flaw was found in vim, where it is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in the sug_filltree     function. This flaw allows a specially crafted file to crash the software. (CVE-2022-2923)

    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in vim's qf_fill_buffer() function of the src/quickfix.c     file. The issue occurs because vim uses freed memory when recursively using 'quickfixtextfunc.' 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-2022-2982)

    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in vim's get_next_valid_entry() function of the     src/quickfix.c file. The issue occurs because vim is using freed memory when the location list is changed     in autocmd. 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-2022-3016)
