    Vim is an improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Heap-use-after-free in memory allocated in the     function `ga_grow_inner` in in the file `src/alloc.c` at line 748, which is freed in the file     `src/ex_docmd.c` in the function `do_cmdline` at line 1010 and then used again in `src/cmdhist.c` at line     759. When using the `:history` command, it's possible that the provided argument overflows the accepted     value. Causing an Integer Overflow and potentially later an use-after-free.

    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.

    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.

    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.
