Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7131-1
November 27, 2024

vim vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Vim could be made to crash if it received specially crafted input.

Software Description:
- vim: Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor

Details:

It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when closing a
buffer, leading to use-after-free. If a user was tricked into opening a
specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the application, leading to
a denial of service.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.10
   vim                             2:9.1.0496-1ubuntu6.2

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   vim                             2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.29

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
   vim                             2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm11
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
   vim                             2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm26

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
   vim                             2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm20
