It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when decoding certain JSON input. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause Vim to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-73071)
Yazan Balawneh discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when opening certain spell files. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Vim to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73072)
It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when processing certain files with a large number of
text properties. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Vim to crash, resulting in a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS,
and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-73074)
It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled certain vimball files. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73076)
It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled shell arguments during keyword lookups. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04
LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-73077)
David Carliez discovered that Vim incorrectly handled certain directory paths when constructing netrw
menus. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73078)
