vim: Out-of-range Pointer Offset

CVE-2022-1420 [MEDIUM] CWE-125 vim: Out-of-range Pointer Offset
vim: Out-of-range Pointer Offset
Use of Out-of-range Pointer Offset in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4774.
A vulnerability was found in Vim. The issue occurs when using a number in a string for the lambda name, triggering an out-of-range pointer offset vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a crafted script containing an argument as a number and then using it as a string pointer to access any memory location, causing an application to crash and possibly access some memory.
Mitigation: Untrusted vim scripts with -s [scriptin] are not recommended to run.
Package: vim (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) - Not affected

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
