"The version of Vim installed on the remote host is 9.1.1459 prior to 9.1.1616. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the 17944 advisory.

  - A security flaw has been discovered in vim up to 9.1.1616. Affected by this vulnerability is the function 
    main of the file src/xxd/xxd.c of the component xxd. The manipulation results in buffer overflow. The 
    attack requires a local approach. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited. 
    Upgrading to version 9.1.1616 addresses this issue. (CVE-2025-9390)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
