Meng,

This particular problem was fixed in Vim v9.0.1740

I have no idea, why this issue is worth a CVE, because if an attacker
can modify your .viminfo file to make Vim crash, he already has the
possibilities to do much more harm directly. So I don’t think this is
particular useful CVE. I’d also like to dispute this.

Thanks,
Christian
