  - A crafted undo or swap file can store a virtual-text property whose offset and length point outside the line's
    property data. When Vim restores or displays such a line it converts the offset into a pointer and reads the
    virtual text without bounds checking, causing an out-of-bounds read that can crash Vim or disclose adjacent heap
    memory. (CVE-2026-57454)
