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. double-free in dialog_changed() in Vim < v9.1.0648. When
abandoning a buffer, Vim may ask the user what to do with the modified buffer. If the user wants the
changed buffer to be saved, Vim may create a new Untitled file, if the buffer did not have a name yet.
