Title: Vim vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Vim.
It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when opening certain
files. If an attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted
file, it could cause Vim to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2522, CVE-2022-2580,
CVE-2022-2817, CVE-2022-2819, CVE-2022-2862, CVE-2022-2889, CVE-2022-2982,
CVE-2022-3134)
It was discovered that Vim did not properly perform bounds checks in the
diff mode in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2598)

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.
