"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1785427487 advisory.
- vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2022-0213)
- Access of Memory Location Before Start of Buffer in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 8.2.
(CVE-2022-0351)
- Vim is an improved version of the unix vi text editor. When flushing the typeahead buffer, Vim moves the
current position in the typeahead buffer but does not check whether there is enough space left in the
buffer to handle the next characters. So this may lead to the tb_off position within the typebuf variable
to point outside of the valid buffer size, which can then later lead to a heap-buffer overflow in e.g.
ins_typebuf(). Therefore, when flushing the typeahead buffer, check if there is enough space left before
advancing the off position. If not, fall back to flush current typebuf contents. It's not quite clear yet,
what can lead to this situation. It seems to happen when error messages occur (which will cause Vim to
flush the typeahead buffer) in comnination with several long mappgins and so it may eventually move the
off position out of a valid buffer size. Impact is low since it is not easily reproducible and requires to
have several mappings active and run into some error condition. But when this happens, this will cause a
crash. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0697. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no
known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2024-43802)
- Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0078, a stack-buffer-overflow occurs
in `build_stl_str_hl()` when rendering a statusline with a multi-byte fill character on a very wide
terminal. Version 9.2.0078 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-28422)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
