CVE-2026-55693

Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set. Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.

Security Fix(es):

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0653, the tree_count_words() function in src/spellfile.c fills in the word-count fields of a spell-file word trie by walking it iteratively with a depth counter. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked against the size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (arridx[], curi[], wordcount[]). A crafted .spl/.sug file pair, loaded when the user invokes spell suggestion, can drive the descent arbitrarily deep, so the function writes past the end of those arrays. This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0653.(CVE-2026-55693)

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0662, the dump_prefixes() function in src/spell.c walks a spell-file prefix trie iteratively with a depth counter while dumping the prefixes that apply to a word. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked against the size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (prefix[], arridx[], curi[]). A crafted .spl file, loaded when the user dumps the word list, can drive the descent arbitrarily deep, so the function writes past the end of those arrays.

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0663, a Vimscript code injection vulnerability exists in s:NetrwLocalRmFile() in the netrw plugin (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when deleting a local file from the browser. A filename derived from the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into an Ex command line passed to :execute with only the backslash character escaped, allowing a crafted filename containing a bar (|) to terminate the intended command and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via :call system() and :!. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0663.(CVE-2026-55895)

• SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds write parsing a crafted spell file: tree_count_words() and sug_filltree() descended the word trie without bounding the recursion depth, so a deeply nested trie wrote past the ends of their MAXWLEN-sized arridx[], curi[] and wordcount[] arrays.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-55693.patch: only descend while depth < MAXWLEN - 1 in both trie walkers, in src/spell.c; matches upstream patch 9.2.0653.
  • CVE-2026-55693
• SECURITY UPDATE: stack out-of-bounds write in dump_prefixes() when dumping spell prefixes (:spelldump): the word trie was descended without bounding the recursion depth, overflowing the MAXWLEN-sized prefix[], arridx[] and curi[] arrays.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-55892.patch: only descend while depth < MAXWLEN - 1, in src/spell.c; matches upstream patch 9.2.0662.
  • CVE-2026-55892
• SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds write in soundfold(): the single-byte branch of spell_soundfold_sofo() wrote one result byte per input byte into the MAXWLEN-sized res[] buffer with no bound, so a long word overflowed it.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-57455.patch: stop the translation loop once ri reaches MAXWLEN - 1, in src/spell.c; matches upstream patch 9.2.0698.
  • CVE-2026-57455
• SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary code execution in the python and python3 omni-completion plugins: reconstructed class/function definitions ran through exec() embedded buffer-supplied docstrings inside a triple- quoted Python string literal, so a docstring containing a closing triple-quote broke out of the literal and executed attacker code.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-57456.patch: quote docstrings with repr() instead of triple-quoting, in runtime/autoload/python3complete.vim and pythoncomplete.vim; matches upstream patch 9.2.0699.

• SECURITY UPDATE: Out-of-bounds write in tree_count_words() in src/spellfile.c when a crafted .spl/.sug spell-file pair loaded during spell suggestion drives the word-trie descent past the end of the MAXWLEN-sized arridx, curi and wordcount stack arrays
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-55693.patch: bound the descent in tree_count_words() and sug_filltree() with depth < MAXWLEN - 1, matching the sibling trie walkers, so the depth index can no longer run past the fixed MAXWLEN-sized arrays
  • CVE-2026-55693
• SECURITY UPDATE: Out-of-bounds write in spell_soundfold_sofo() in src/spell.c when a word longer than MAXWLEN is sound-folded through a spell file's SOFO byte map while a SOFO-based spell language is active, writing past the end of the caller's MAXWLEN-sized result buffer
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-57455.patch: bound the single-byte SOFO translation loop in spell_soundfold_sofo() with ri < MAXWLEN - 1 so the output index can no longer run past the fixed MAXWLEN-sized result buffer

• SECURITY UPDATE: command injection in the tar plugin: tar#Vimuntar() escaped the tarball name with shellescape() without the special argument before running gunzip/gzip through :!, so characters that Vim expands in a :! command line (such as % and #) survived in the name and let a crafted archive name run arbitrary shell commands.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-46483.patch: use the shellescape(name, 1) form for both :! invocations in runtime/autoload/tar.vim; matches upstream patch 9.2.0479.
  • CVE-2026-46483
• SECURITY UPDATE: code injection via netrw directory history: s:NetrwBookHistSave() serialised each history entry into ~/.vim/.netrwhist by wrapping the value in single quotes with string concatenation, so a directory name containing a single quote closed the literal and injected Vimscript that ran when the history file was sourced on the next netrw start.

  • CVE-2026-47162
• SECURITY UPDATE: code execution through Python omni-completion: pythoncomplete and python3complete rebuilt the buffer's Python code and passed it to exec(), including the import and from statements harvested from the buffer, so invoking omni-completion in a hostile Python file executed arbitrary module-level code.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-52858.patch: skip import/from statements unless g:pythoncomplete_allow_import is set, in both runtime/autoload/pythoncomplete.vim and python3complete.vim; matches upstream patches 9.2.0561 and 9.2.0568, the latter being required for the opt-in to take effect at all.
  • CVE-2026-52858
• SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds access when a terminal buffer is snapshotted: the per-cell loop in move_terminal_to_buffer() walked cell.chars[] with no upper bound, and libvterm leaves that array unterminated when a cell uses all VTERM_MAX_CHARS_PER_CELL slots (a base character plus five combining marks), so it read past the array and appended the out-of-bounds values to a buffer sized for far fewer bytes.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-52859.patch: bound the loop with i < VTERM_MAX_CHARS_PER_CELL and size the buffer for six 6-byte characters, in src/terminal.c; matches upstream patch 9.2.0565 together with its prerequisite 8.1.0611, without which the bounded loop would still overrun the MB_MAXBYTES-sized buffer.
  • CVE-2026-52859
• SECURITY UPDATE: code execution through Python omni-completion definition headers: Scope.get_code() reproduced def and class headers verbatim in the source handed to exec(), and Python evaluates parameter default values, annotations and base-class expressions at definition time, so crafted headers ran arbitrary code during completion even with imports disabled.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-52860.patch: strip default values and annotations from parameters and accept only dotted names as base classes, in both runtime/autoload/pythoncomplete.vim and python3complete.vim; matches upstream patch 9.2.0597.
  • CVE-2026-52860
• SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds write reading a crafted spell file: tree_count_words() and sug_filltree() descended the word trie without bounding the depth, so a deeply nested trie wrote past the ends of their MAXWLEN-sized arridx[], curi[] and wordcount[] arrays.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-55693.patch: only descend while depth < MAXWLEN - 1 in both trie walkers, in src/spellfile.c; matches upstream patch 9.2.0653.
