"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-498:01 advisory.
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor. Vi was the first real
screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still very popular. VIM improves on vi by adding new features:
multiple windows, multi-level undo, block highlighting and more. The vim-enhanced package contains a
version of VIM with extra, recently introduced features like Python and Perl interpreters.
Bugs fixed:
CVE-2007-2953
Format string vulnerability in the helptags_one function in src/ex_cmds.c in Vim 6.4 and earlier, and 7.x
up to 7.1, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in
a help-tags tag in a help file, related to the helptags command.
CVE-2008-2712
Vim 7.1.314, 6.4, and other versions allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands
via Vim scripts that do not properly sanitize inputs before invoking the execute or system functions, as
demonstrated using (1) filetype.vim, (2) zipplugin, (3) xpm.vim, (4) gzip_vim, and (5) netrw.
CVE-2008-3074
Description not available at time of writing, see CVE links below.
CVE-2008-3075
Description not available at time of writing, see CVE links below.
CVE-2008-3076
Description not available at time of writing, see CVE links below.
CVE-2008-4101
Vim 3.0 through 7.x before 7.2.010 does not properly escape characters, which allows user-assisted
attackers to (1) execute arbitrary shell commands by entering a K keystroke on a line that contains a ;
(semicolon) followed by a command, or execute arbitrary Ex commands by entering an argument after a (2)
Ctrl-] (control close-square-bracket) or (3) g] (g close-square-bracket) keystroke sequence, a different
issue than CVE-2008-2712.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
