(Vim, gVim: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

      It was found that the :source! command was not restricted by
      the sandbox mode. If modeline was explicitly enabled, opening a specially
      crafted text file in vim could result in arbitrary command execution.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
      using Vim or gVim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
      the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
