Remediation
Red Hat statement
Red Hat has determined this vulnerability is of low impact as successful exploitation requires executing an untrusted script and could result only in a DoS of vim, which does not impact system stability. Furthermore, the out-of-bounds read does not implicitly allow for arbitrary code execution.
Red Hat mitigation
Untrusted vim scripts with -s [scriptin] are not recommended to run.
