"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0880 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2026-73074:
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, prop_add_one() in src/textprop.c uses
the proplen value from get_text_props() to increment a uint16_t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the
count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for none of them.
This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0841.
CVE-2026-73072:
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, set_sofo() in src/spellfile.c reuses
sl_sal_first[] without resetting values left by set_sal_first(), so a crafted spell file containing an
SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced writes
beyond a heap allocation. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0846.
CVE-2026-73071:
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in
src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free
the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader->js_buf +
reader->js_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.
CVE-2026-43961:
A flaw was found in Vim's netrw plugin. A crafted filename containing quote characters and expression
fragments can break out of the quoted context during mark/unmark operations, allowing arbitrary Vimscript
execution. This can be leveraged to run shell commands with the privileges of the user running Vim.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
