An integer overflow flaw was found in the way vim handled undo files.
This bug could result in vim crashing when trying to process corrupted
undo files.(CVE-2017-6349)

vim before patch 8.0.0322 does not properly validate values for tree
length when handling a spell file, which may result in an integer
overflow at a memory allocation site and a resultant buffer overflow.
