It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-431 advisory.

  • Vim is an improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Heap-use-after-free in memory allocated in the function ga_grow_inner in in the file src/alloc.c at line 748, which is freed in the file src/ex_docmd.c in the function do_cmdline at line 1010 and then used again in src/cmdhist.c at line 759. When using the :history command, it’s possible that the provided argument overflows the accepted value. Causing an Integer Overflow and potentially later an use-after-free. This vulnerability has been patched in version 9.0.2068. (CVE-2023-46246)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
