Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Vim is an open source command line text editor. When getting the count for a normal mode z command, it may overflow for large counts given.

This issue has been addressed in commit `58f9befca1` which has been included in release version 9.0.2109. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
