"The version of vim installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-43790 advisory.
- Vim is an open source command line text editor. When performing a search and displaying the search-count
message is disabled (:set shm+=S), the search pattern is displayed at the bottom of the screen in a buffer
(msgbuf). When right-left mode (:set rl) is enabled, the search pattern is reversed. This happens by
allocating a new buffer. If the search pattern contains some ASCII NUL characters, the buffer allocated
will be smaller than the original allocated buffer (because for allocating the reversed buffer, the
strlen() function is called, which only counts until it notices an ASCII NUL byte ) and thus the original
length indicator is wrong. This causes an overflow when accessing characters inside the msgbuf by the
previously (now wrong) length of the msgbuf. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0689.
(CVE-2024-43790)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
