Integer overflow - CVE-2017-6349
Published: February 27, 2017 / Updated: August 4, 2020
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
An integer overflow at a u_read_undo memory allocation site would occur for vim before patch 8.0.0377, if it does not properly validate values for tree length when reading a corrupted undo file, which may lead to resultant buffer overflows.
