{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-73071","details":"Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader-\u003ejs_buf + reader-\u003ejs_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.","modified":"2026-09-10T08:47:26.903372003Z","published":"2026-08-11T16:17:38.413Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-73071"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-73071"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/vim?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2:9.2.0858-1"}]}],"versions":["2:9.1.1230-2","2:9.1.1385-1","2:9.1.1766-1","2:9.1.1829-1","2:9.1.1846-1","2:9.1.1882-1","2:9.1.2103-1","2:9.1.2141-1","2:9.2.0119-1","2:9.2.0136-1","2:9.2.0218-1","2:9.2.0315-1","2:9.2.0338-1","2:9.2.0355-1","2:9.2.0428-1","2:9.2.0461-1","2:9.2.0524-1","2:9.2.0782-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-73071.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
