Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-155 advisory.

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in vim's do_cmdline() function of the src/ex_docmd.c file. The     issue triggers when an invalid line number on :for is ignored. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a     user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering use-after-free that causes an application to crash,     possibly executing code and corrupting memory. (CVE-2022-3099)

    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in vim's do_tag() function of the src/tag.c file. The issue     triggers when the 'tagfunc' closes the window. 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-2022-3134)

    NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0404. (CVE-2022-3153)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
