"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1777943581 advisory.
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0280, a path traversal bypass in Vim's
zip.vim plugin allows overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted zip archives,
circumventing the previous fix for CVE-2025-53906. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0280.
(CVE-2026-35177)
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0316, a command injection vulnerability in
Vim's netbeans interface allows a malicious netbeans server to execute arbitrary Ex commands when Vim
connects to it, via unsanitized strings in the defineAnnoType and specialKeys protocol messages. This
vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0316. (CVE-2026-39881)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
