The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim.src package and not the vim.src package as distributed by Centos.
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0075, a heap-based buffer underflow exists in Vim's Emacs-style tags file parsing logic. When processing a malformed tags file where a delimiter appears at the start of a line, Vim attempts to read memory immediately preceding the allocated buffer. Version 9.2.0075 fixes the issue.
