"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has vim packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - Vim before 9.0.2142 has a stack-based buffer overflow because did_set_langmap in map.c calls sprintf to
    write to the error buffer that is passed down to the option callback functions. (CVE-2024-22667)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed
    window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue
    has been addressed in commit `25aabc2b` which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are
    advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48231)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. In affected versions when shifting lines in operator
    pending mode and using a very large value, it may be possible to overflow the size of integer. Impact is
    low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been
    addressed in commit `6bf131888` which has been included in version 9.0.2112. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48237)

  - Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When
    executing a `:s` command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the
    substitution part, it is possible that the recursive `:s` call causes free-ing of memory which may later
    then be accessed by the initial `:s` command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the
    whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It
    may also cause a crash of Vim. Version 9.0.2121 contains a fix for this issue. (CVE-2023-48706)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A segmentation fault was found in Vim before 9.1.1043. In
    silent Ex mode (-s -e), Vim typically doesn't show a screen and just operates silently in batch mode.
    However, it is still possible to trigger the function that handles the scrolling of a gui version of Vim
    by feeding some binary characters to Vim. The function that handles the scrolling however may be
    triggering a redraw, which will access the ScreenLines pointer, even so this variable hasn't been
    allocated (since there is no screen). This vulnerability is fixed in 9.1.1043. (CVE-2025-24014)

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