Slackware: 2022-269-02: vim Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/vim-9.0.0594-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Fixed stack-based buffer overflow. Thanks to marav for the heads-up. In addition, Mig21 pointed out an issue where the defaults.vim file might need to be edited for some purposes as its contents will override the settings in the system-wide vimrc. Usually this file is replaced whenever vim is upgraded, which in those situations would be inconvenient for the admin. So, I've added support for a file named defaults.vim.custom which (if it exists) will be used instead of the defaults.vim file shipped in the packages and will persist through upgrades. For more information, see: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-3296 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/vim-gvim-9.0.0594-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
