NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by Ubuntu.

An integer overflow at a u_read_undo memory allocation site would occur for vim before patch 8.0.0377, if it does not properly validate values for tree length when reading a corrupted undo file, which may lead to resultant buffer overflows.
