Ubuntu Update for vim vulnerability USN-505-1. Ulf Harnhammar discovered that vim does not properly sanitise the "helptags_one()" function when running the "helptags" command. By tricking a user into running a crafted help file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges
