CVE-2025-24014

Summary

CVE-2025-24014 is a vulnerability affecting Vim, an open-source text editor, before version 9.1.1043. In silent Ex mode, Vim typically operates without displaying a screen in batch mode. However, if binary characters are fed to Vim, it can trigger a function responsible for scrolling in a graphical version of Vim. Despite the absence of a screen, the function may cause a redraw, leading to an attempt to access the unallocated ScreenLines pointer. This vulnerability, which can result in a segmentation fault, is mitigated in Vim version 9.1.1043.
