Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0075, a heap-based buffer underflow
exists in Vim's Emacs-style tags file parsing logic. When processing a malformed tags file where a
delimiter appears at the start of a line, Vim attempts to read memory immediately preceding the allocated
