It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1716 advisory.

    A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in vim's ins_compl_infercase_gettext() function of the     src/insexpand.c file. This flaw occurs when vim tries to access uninitialized memory when completing a     long line. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering     a heap-based buffer overflow that causes an application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting     memory. (CVE-2022-2522)

    Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0220. (CVE-2022-2849)

    Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0221. (CVE-2022-2862)

    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)

    Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0530. (CVE-2022-3256)

    Stack-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0598. (CVE-2022-3324)

    Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0742. (CVE-2022-3491)

    A null pointer dereference issue was discovered in function gui_x11_create_blank_mouse in gui_x11.c in vim     8.1.2269 thru 9.0.0339 allows attackers to cause denial of service or other unspecified impacts.
    (CVE-2022-47024)

    Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1144. (CVE-2023-0051)

    Out-of-bounds Write in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1145. (CVE-2023-0054)

    A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1376 in     Vim's utf_ptr2char() function of the src/mbyte.c file. This flaw occurs because there is access to invalid     memory with put in visual block mode. An attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file,     triggering an out-of-bounds read that causes an application to crash, leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-1170)

    Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1378. (CVE-2023-1175)
