CVE-2022-2580 [HIGH] Vim vulnerabilities
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,

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.

CVE-2022-3153 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 vim: null pointer dereference in vim_regcomp()
vim: null pointer dereference in vim_regcomp()
NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0404.
A flaw was found in vim, where it is vulnerable to a null-pointer-dereference in the vim_regcomp() function. This flaw allows a specially crafted file to crash a program or execute code.
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.
Mitigation: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to wi
