NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Vim 8.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted source (aka -S) file. NOTE: there might be a limited number of scenarios in which this has security relevance.
