Vim < 9.2.0662 Stack Out-of-Bounds Write (GHSA-qm9w-fmpj-879h)

The version of Vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.2.0662. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. - The dumpprefixes 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...

Vim 9.2.0320 < 9.2.0679 Out-of-Bounds Read (GHSA-ww8h-47xp-hp4w)

The version of Vim installed on the remote host is between 9.2.0320 and 9.2.0679 exclusive. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. - A crafted undo or swap file can store a virtual-text property whose offset and length point outside the line's property data. When Vim restores or displays...

The version of Vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.2.0653. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. - The treecountwords 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 onl...

Vim 9.1.1784 < 9.2.0678 Command Injection (GHSA-x5fg-h5w9-9frf)

The version of Vim installed on the remote host is between 9.1.1784 and 9.2.0678 exclusive. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. - When the bundled zip plugin autoload/zip.vim falls back to PowerShell to browse, read, extract, update or delete entries in a zip archive, it builds the...

vim: command injection when decompressing .tgz archives

A flaw was found in Vim. When decompressing .tgz archives, the Vimuntar function builds shell commands using shellescape without the special flag. This allows a specially crafted archive filename to trigger Vim cmdline-special expansion and execute arbitrary commands in the context of the current...

vim: Vim: Command injection allows arbitrary code execution via malicious tag files

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. This command injection vulnerability occurs during tag file processing. A local user could craft a malicious tags file containing backtick syntax in the filename field. When Vim resolves a tag from this file, it executes the embedd...
