An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0213) It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly handling window exchanging operations when in Visual mode, which could result in an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-0319) It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly handling recursion when parsing conditional expressions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0351) It was discovered that Vim was not properly handling memory allocation when processing data in Ex mode, which could result in a heap buffer overflow.
