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

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Versions prior to 9.2.0077 have a heap-buffer-overflow
    and a segmentation fault (SEGV) exist in Vim's swap file recovery logic. Both are caused by unvalidated
    fields read from crafted pointer blocks within a swap file. Version 9.2.0077 fixes the issue.
    (CVE-2026-28421)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.2132, a heap buffer overflow
    vulnerability exists in Vim's tag file resolution logic when processing the 'helpfile' option. The
    vulnerability is located in the get_tagfname() function in src/tag.c. When processing help file tags, Vim
    copies the user-controlled 'helpfile' option value into a fixed-size heap buffer of MAXPATHL + 1 bytes
    (typically 4097 bytes) using an unsafe STRCPY() operation without any bounds checking. This issue has been
    patched in version 9.1.2132. (CVE-2026-25749)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0073, an OS command injection
    vulnerability exists in the `netrw` standard plugin bundled with Vim. By inducing a user to open a crafted
    URL (e.g., using the `scp://` protocol handler), an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the
    privileges of the Vim process. Version 9.2.0073 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-28417)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0074, a heap-based buffer overflow
    out-of-bounds read exists in Vim's Emacs-style tags file parsing logic. When processing a malformed tags
    file, Vim can be tricked into reading up to 7 bytes beyond the allocated memory boundary. Version 9.2.0074
    fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-28418)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0075, a heap-based buffer underflow
    exists in Vim's Emacs-style tags file parsing logic. When processing a malformed tags file where a
    delimiter appears at the start of a line, Vim attempts to read memory immediately preceding the allocated
    buffer. Version 9.2.0075 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-28419)

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