Summary

In vim package versions prior to 9.0.0947, the target's backtrace indicates that "libc" has detected a heap error or that the target was executing a heap function when it stopped. This could be due to heap corruption, passing a bad pointer to a heap function such as "free()", etc. Since heap errors might include buffer overflows, Use-After-Free situations, etc. they are generally considered exploitable.
