Vim is a cross-platform text editor, and a resource management error vulnerability exists in versions prior to Vim 9.0.0225, which stems from a confusion in the directive responsible for freeing memory in find_var_also_in_script. An attacker could use this vulnerability to potentially crash the program, execute arbitrary code, etc.
