CVE-2025-22134

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-22134
When switching to other buffers using the :all command and visual mode still being active, this may cause a heap-buffer overflow, because Vim does not properly end visual mode and therefore may try to access beyond the end of a line in a buffer. In Patch 9.1.1003 Vim will correctly reset the visual mode before opening other windows and buffers and therefore fix this bug. In addition it does verify that it won't try to access a position if the position is greater than the corresponding buffer line. Impact is medium since the user must have switched on visual mode when executing the :all ex command. The Vim project would like to thank github user gandalf4a for reporting this issue. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1003

Summary
  • (es) Al cambiar a otros buffers usando el comando :all y el modo visual aún está activo, esto puede causar un desbordamiento del búfer de montón, porque Vim no finaliza correctamente el modo visual y, por lo tanto, puede intentar acceder más allá del final de una línea en un búfer. En el parche 9.1.1003, Vim restablecerá correctamente el modo visual antes de abrir otras ventanas y búferes y, por lo tanto, solucionará este error. Además, verifica que no intentará acceder a una posición si la posición es mayor que la línea del búfer correspondiente. El impacto es medio ya que el usuario debe haber activado el modo visual al ejecutar el comando :all ex. El proyecto Vim desea agradecer al usuario de Github gandalf4a por informar este problema. El problema se ha solucionado a partir del parche de Vim v9.1.1003
