            Bug ID: 279487
           Summary: ESC [ F can cause libedit to read/write before start
                    of buffer
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rtm@lcs.mit.edu

This code in contrib/libedit/common.c:

ed_move_to_end(EditLine *el, wint_t c __attribute__((__unused__)))
{
     ...;
                  el->el_line.cursor--;

causes el->el_line.cursor to point before the start of
el->el_line.buffer if the current line is empty. Then subsequent
commands that read or write via cursor use the wrong memory.

For example, if I run valgrind /bin/sh and type

  $ set -o vi

and then (on a new line)

  ESC [ F x

valgrind says
