The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-29 (Vim, gVim: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

Vim and gVim do not properly validate values for the ‘filetype’,       ‘syntax’, and ‘keymap’ options.

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file       using Vim/gVim with certain modeline options enabled possibly resulting       in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

Workaround :

Disabling modeline support in .vimrc by adding “set nomodeline” will       prevent exploitation of this flaw. By default, modeline is enabled for       ordinary users but disabled for root.
