How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 vim to version 9.1.1406-150500.20.27.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Vim, a text editor, is vulnerable to potential data loss with zip.vim and special crafted zip files in versions prior to 9.1.1198. The impact is medium because a user must be made to view such an archive with Vim and then press 'x' on such a strange filename. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1198.
