CVE-2023-48233 (published 2023-11-16T23:15Z)

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. This issue has been addressed in commit `ac6378773` which has been included in release version 9.0.2108. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

CVSS v3 base score: 4.3, MEDIUM (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-190
cwe_name: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
description: The product performs a calculation that can
         produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic
         assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than
         the original value. This occurs when an integer value is
         incremented to a value that is too large to store in the
         associated representation. When this occurs, the value may
         become a very small or negative number.

msg: patch 9.0.2108: [security]: overflow with count for :s command

Problem:  [security]: overflow with count for :s command
Solution: Abort the :s command if the count is too large

If the count after the :s command is larger than what fits into a
(signed) long variable, abort with e_value_too_large.

Adds a test with INT_MAX as count and verify it correctly fails.

It seems the return value on Windows using mingw compiler wraps around,
so the initial test using :s/./b/9999999999999999999999999990 doesn't
fail there, since the count is wrapping around several times and finally
is no longer larger than 2147483647. So let's just use 2147483647 in the
test, which hopefully will always cause a failure
