The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5775-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Vim uses freed memory in recurisve substitution of specially crafted patterns. An attacker could possbly use this to crash Vim and cause denial of service. (CVE-2022-2345)
It was discovered that Vim makes illegal memory calls when patterns start with an illegal byte. An attacker could possibly use this to crash Vim, access or modify memory, or execute arbitrary commands.
(CVE-2022-2581)
It was discovered that Vim could be made to crash when parsing invalid line numbers. An attacker could possbly use this to crash Vim and cause denial of service. (CVE-2022-3099)
It was discovered that Vim uses freed memory when autocmd changes a mark. An attacker could possbly use this to crash Vim and cause denial of service. (CVE-2022-3256)
It was discovered the Vim uses an incorrect array index when window width is negative. A local attacker could possbly use this to crash Vim and cause denial of service. (CVE-2022-3324)
It was discoverd that certain buffers could be sent to the wrong window. An attacker with local access could use this to send messages to the wrong window. (CVE-2022-3591)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
