CVE-2026-57455 is a stack buffer overflow in Vim versions prior to 9.2.0698. The single-byte branch of spell_soundfold_sofo() translates a word using a spell language's SOFO sound-folding byte map into a caller-owned, MAXWLEN-element stack buffer. The copy loop increments the output index without checking the buffer boundary and stops only at the input NUL terminator. Processing a word longer than MAXWLEN through soundfold() or sound-based spell suggestions while a SOFO-based spell language is active writes beyond the buffer, corrupting the call frame and crashing the editor.
