{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41965","details":"Vim is an open source command line text editor. double-free in dialog_changed() in Vim \u003c v9.1.0648. When abandoning a buffer, Vim may ask the user what to do with the modified buffer. If the user wants the changed buffer to be saved, Vim may create a new Untitled file, if the buffer did not have a name yet. However, when setting the buffer name to Unnamed, Vim will falsely free a pointer twice, leading to a double-free and possibly later to a heap-use-after-free, which can lead to a crash. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0648.","modified":"2026-02-04T03:52:16.492422Z","published":"2024-08-01T22:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-06-23T15:58:46Z","related":["CVE-2024-41965"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-41965"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-41965"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/vim/vim/security/advisories/GHSA-46pw-v7qw-xc2f"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu1","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu2","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm1","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm3","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm4","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm5","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm6","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm7","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm8","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm9","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm10","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm11","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm12","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm13","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm14","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm15","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm16","2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.1+esm17"],"ecosystem_specific":{"ubuntu_priority":"medium"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41965.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2:7.4.712-2ubuntu4","2:7.4.826-1ubuntu1","2:7.4.826-1ubuntu2","2:7.4.826-1ubuntu3","2:7.4.963-1ubuntu1","2:7.4.963-1ubuntu4","2:7.4.963-1ubuntu5","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.2","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.3","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.4","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm2","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm3","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm4","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm5","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm6","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm7","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm8","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm10","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm11","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm12","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm13","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm14","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm15","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm17","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm18","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm19","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm20","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm22","2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.5+esm23"],"ecosystem_specific":{"ubuntu_priority":"medium"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41965.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2:8.0.0197-4ubuntu5","2:8.0.1144-1ubuntu1","2:8.0.1401-1ubuntu1","2:8.0.1401-1ubuntu2","2:8.0.1401-1ubuntu3","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.1","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.3","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.4","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.6","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.7","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.8","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.9","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.10","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.11","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.12","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm1","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm3","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm4","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm5","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm6","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm7","2:8.0.1453-1ubuntu1.13+esm8"],"ecosystem_specific":{"ubuntu_priority":"medium"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41965.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2:8.1.0875-5ubuntu2","2:8.1.0875-5ubuntu3","2:8.1.0875-5ubuntu4","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu1","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu4","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.3","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.4","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.6","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.7","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.8","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.9","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.11","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.12","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.13","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.14","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.15","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.16","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.17","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.18","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.20","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.21","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.22","2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.23"],"ecosystem_specific":{"ubuntu_priority":"medium"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41965.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vim","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3","2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu4","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu1","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu2","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu3","2:8.2.3565-1ubuntu5","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu1","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.1","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.3","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.4","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.5","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.7","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.8","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.9","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.10","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.11","2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.12","2:8.2
