"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1782999239 advisory.
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0653, the tree_count_words() function in
src/spellfile.c fills in the word-count fields of a spell-file word trie by walking it iteratively with a
depth counter. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked against the
size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (arridx[], curi[], wordcount[]). A crafted
.spl/.sug file pair, loaded when the user invokes spell suggestion, can drive the descent arbitrarily
deep, so the function writes past the end of those arrays. This is a stack out-of-bounds write that
corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0653. (CVE-2026-55693)
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0662, the dump_prefixes() function in
src/spell.c walks a spell-file prefix trie iteratively with a depth counter while dumping the prefixes
that apply to a word. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked
against the size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (prefix[], arridx[], curi[]). A
crafted .spl file, loaded when the user dumps the word list, can drive the descent arbitrarily deep, so
the function writes past the end of those arrays. This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the
call frame and crashes the editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0662. (CVE-2026-55892)
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0698, the single-byte branch of
spell_soundfold_sofo() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SOFO (sound-folding) byte
map into a caller-owned result buffer. Its copy loop advances the output index ri with no upper bound and
terminates only on the input NUL, writing one byte per input byte into the MAXWLEN-element stack buffer
the caller provides. A word longer than MAXWLEN, passed to soundfold() (or reached via sound-based spell
suggestion) while a SOFO-based spell language is active, therefore writes past the end of that buffer.
This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This
vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0698. (CVE-2026-57455)
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0699, Vim's Python omni-completion
(runtime/autoload/python3complete.vim and the legacy pythoncomplete.vim) executes reconstructed function
and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of populating the completion dictionary.
When reconstructing that source, each scope's docstring is inserted verbatim between triple quotes with no
escaping, so a hostile buffer can break out of the triple-quoted literal and execute attacker-controlled
Python during omni-completion. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0699. (CVE-2026-57456)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
