CVE-2023-48706: heap-use-after-free in ex_substitute

Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When executing a `:s` command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the substitution part, it is possible that the recursive `:s` call causes free-ing of memory which may later then be accessed by the initial `:s` command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It may also cause a crash of Vim. Version 9.0.2121 contains a fix for this issue.

CVE-2023-48106: Heap-buffer-overflow in mz_os.c:188 in mz_path_resolve · Issue #740 · zlib-ng/minizip-ng

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in zlib-ng minizip-ng v.4.0.2 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file to the mz_path_resolve function in the mz_os.c file.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6506-1
