{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2026-73071","details":"Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader-\u003ejs_buf + reader-\u003ejs_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.","modified":"2026-09-14T16:18:08.264162827Z","published":"2026-08-11T16:17:38.413Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-73071"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2026-73071"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.23","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/vim?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.2.0854-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2026-73071.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
