A vim security update has been released for Slackware 15.0 and -current.

slackware-security: vim (SSA:2022-269-02)

[slackware-security] vim (SSA:2022-269-02)

New vim packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/vim-9.0.0594-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed stack-based buffer overflow.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
In addition, Mig21 pointed out an issue where the defaults.vim file might
need to be edited for some purposes as its contents will override the
settings in the system-wide vimrc. Usually this file is replaced whenever
vim is upgraded, which in those situations would be inconvenient for the
admin. So, I've added support for a file named defaults.vim.custom which
(if it exists) will be used instead of the defaults.vim file shipped in
the packages and will persist through upgrades.
For more information, see:
