It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when closing a
window, leading to a double-free vulnerability. If a user was tricked
into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the
application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly achieve code
execution with user privileges. (CVE-2024-41957)
