CVE-2020-20703 [CRITICAL] CWE-787 vim: buffer overflow
vim: buffer overflow
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VIM v.8.1.2135 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the operand parameter.
A use-after-free flaw was found in Vim. This issue allows a heap buffer overflow leading to a write access violation. This flaw allows the attacker to possibly have control over the write address and value, which may lead to an application crash.
Statement: Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having a Low security impact, because the "victim" has to run an untrusted file IN SCRIPT MODE. Someone who is running untrusted files in script mode is equivalent to someone just taking a random python script and running it.
