Description TEJ RATHI 2023-11-17 12:12:52 UTC 
Vim is an open source command line text editor. If the count after the :s command is larger than what fits into a (signed) long variable, abort with e_value_too_large. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
