"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-2024-43802 advisory.

  - Vim is an improved version of the unix vi text editor. When flushing the typeahead buffer, Vim moves the
    current position in the typeahead buffer but does not check whether there is enough space left in the
    buffer to handle the next characters. So this May lead to the tb_off position within the typebuf variable
    to point outside of the valid buffer size, which can then later lead to a heap-buffer overflow in e.g.
    ins_typebuf(). Therefore, when flushing the typeahead buffer, check if there is enough space left before
    advancing the off position. If not, fall back to flush current typebuf contents. It's not quite clear yet,
    what can lead to this situation. It seems to happen when error messages occur (which will cause Vim to
    flush the typeahead buffer) in comnination with several long mappgins and so it May eventually move the
    off position out of a valid buffer size. Impact is low since it is not easily reproducible and requires to
    have several mappings active and run into some error condition. But when this happens, this will cause a
    crash. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0697. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no
    known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2024-43802)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
