CVE-2026-73072: Vim

High severity, CVSS 7.3. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, set_sofo() in src/spellfile.c reuses sl_sal_first[] without resetting values left by set_sal_first(), so a crafted spell file containing an SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced writes beyond a heap allocation. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0846.

Affected products

• Vim Vim: before 9.2.0846 (fixed in 9.2.0846)
