Florian Larysch and Bram Moolenaar discovered that vim, an enhanced vi editor, does not properly validate values for the the ‘filetype’, ‘syntax’ and ‘keymap’ options, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a file with a specially crafted modeline is opened.
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 2:7.3.547-7+deb7u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your vim packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
