    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)
