Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0211.

Notes

AuthorNote
rodrigo-zaiden
faulty code was added in version 8.2.2672, with commit
b2cb6c8b, so, versions earlier than that are not affected.
there is a possibility that version 8.2.2301 (commit
752fc692) is also affected, but the PoC provided didn't
reproduce in this version. Anyway, at least versions
prior to 8.2.2301 are not affected.
