vim: buffer over-read in put_on_cmdline() at ex_getln.c
Buffer Over-read in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.
A heap buffer over-read vulnerability was found in Vim's put_on_cmdline() function of the src/ex_getln.c file. This issue occurs due to invalid memory access when using an expression on the command line. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering a heap buffer overflow that causes an application to crash and corrupt memory.
Statement: All versions of Vim shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux are affected, because of the presence of vulnerable code in our code-base.
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

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.
