Published Oct 7, 2024CWE-416EPSS 0.29%

Overview

CVE-2024-47814 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 7, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.9 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.9, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A use-after-free was found in Vim < 9.1.0764. When closing a buffer (visible in a window) a BufWinLeave auto command can cause an use-after-free if this auto command happens to re-open the same buffer in a new split window. Impact is low since the user must have intentionally set up such a strange auto command and run some buffer unload commands. However this may lead to a crash. This issue has been addressed in version 9.1.0764 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
