Problem: missing bound-checks
Solution: Add defensive guards against potential buffer overflow
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Add bounds checking and integer overflow guards across multiple files
as a defensive measure. While these code paths are unlikely to be
exploitable in practice, the guards prevent undefined behavior in
edge cases.
- libvterm/vterm.c: use heap tmpbuffer instead of stack buffer in
vsprintf() fallback path
- channel.c: validate len in channel_consume() before mch_memmove()
- spell.c: use long instead of int for addlen to avoid signed overflow
in size_t subtraction
- alloc.c: add SIZE_MAX overflow check in ga_grow_inner() before
itemsize multiplication
- list.c: add overflow check before count * sizeof(listitem_T)
- popupwin.c: add overflow check before width * height allocation
- insexpand.c: add overflow check before compl_num_bests multiplication
- regexp_bt.c: replace sprintf() with vim_snprintf() in regprop()
- spellfile.c: use SIZE_MAX instead of LONG_MAX for allocation overflow
check

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
