{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-73074","details":"Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, prop_add_one() in src/textprop.c uses the proplen value from get_text_props() to increment a uint16_t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for none of them. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0841.","modified":"2026-08-21T20:32:27.759403386Z","published":"2026-08-11T16:17:00Z","related":["USN-8657-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2026-73074"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-73074"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-73074"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/vim/vim/security/advisories/GHSA-hm4g-pjfx-m27j"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/a9336b476fd1a182e3f79b5f83c0ffb04f8a922b"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8657-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"}]}],"versions":["2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3","2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu4","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu1","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu2","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu3","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu5","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu1","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.1","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.3","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.4","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.5","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.7","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.8","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.9","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.10","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.11","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.12","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.13","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.15","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.16","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.17","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.18","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.19","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.20","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.21","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.22","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.23","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.24","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.26","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.27","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.28","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.29","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.30","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.31","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.32","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.33","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.34"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"vim","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35","binary_name":"vim-athena"},{"binary_name":"vim-common","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_name":"vim-gtk","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35","binary_name":"vim-gtk3"},{"binary_name":"vim-gui-common","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_name":"vim-nox","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35","binary_name":"vim-runtime"},{"binary_name":"vim-tiny","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"},{"binary_name":"xxd","binary_version":"2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.35"}],"availability":"No
