CVE-2023-48233: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Vim is an open source command line text editor. If the count after the :s command is larger than what fits into a (signed) long variable, abort with e_value_too_large. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `ac6378773` which has been included in release version 9.0.2108. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 37 only; version 38 only; version 39 only
• Vim Vim: before 9.0.2108 (fixed in 9.0.2108)
