    Brian Carpenter discovered that vim incorrectly handled memory when opening certain files. If a user was
    tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a
    denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only affected
    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 21.04. (CVE-2021-3770)
