VIM and NVD Vulnerability

Greetings;

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) lists a high vulnerability for VIM 8.0. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-11109
Vim 8.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted source (aka -S) file.
NOTE: there might be a limited number of scenarios in which this has security relevance.


Unfortunately, the info provided in the CVE does not specify if it is only the initial release 8.0 or the subsequent patched versions that are vulnerable. I have searched the VIM website readme and other documents but can't find the answer, so I am turning to you. I appreciate your assistance. Is the current version still vulnerable to the issue noted above or has this been remediated in the patch updates?

Best regards,
Susanne Ramsey
