Vim is a cross-platform text editor, and a security vulnerability exists in versions prior to Vim 9.0.0614. The vulnerability stems from a confusion in the program’s directive for freeing memory in the did_set_string_option function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to potentially crash the program, execute arbitrary code, etc.
