Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, jsondecodeitem() in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after jsondecodestring() invokes channelfill() to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader->jsbuf + reader->jsused when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.
