"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778009078 advisory.
- vim is vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-2021-3928)
- vim is vulnerable to Use After Free (CVE-2021-3974)
- Use after free in append_command in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.4895. This vulnerability is
capable of crashing software, Bypass Protection Mechanism, Modify Memory, and possible remote execution
(CVE-2022-1616)
- NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2729 in GitHub repository vim/vim
prior to 8.2.4901. NULL Pointer Dereference in function vim_regexec_string at regexp.c:2729 allows
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted input. (CVE-2022-1620)
- Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2. (CVE-2022-2125)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
