New Vim packages for Slackware 15.0 have been released to fix critical security vulnerabilities. Upgrade now for safety.
New vim packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/vim-9.0.0270-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. We're just going to move to vim-9 instead of continuing to backport patches to the vim-8 branch. Most users will be better served by this. Fixed use after free and null pointer dereference. Thanks to marav for the heads-up. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-2946 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-2923 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/vim-gvim-9.0.0270-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
