vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution through Python omni-completion.

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. The Python omni-completion feature executes reconstructed function and class definitions from the current buffer. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a hostile buffer, leading to the execution of attacker-controlled Pyth...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution via command injection in NetBeans interface

A flaw was found in Vim. A command injection vulnerability in Vim's NetBeans interface allows a malicious NetBeans server to execute arbitrary Ex commands when Vim connects to it. This occurs due to unsanitized strings in the defineAnnoType and specialKeys protocol messages, leading to arbitrary...

vim: Vimscript injection via unescaped filename in netrw s:NetrwMarkFile() filter() expression allows arbitrary code execution

A flaw was found in Vim's netrw plugin. A crafted filename containing quote characters and expression fragments can break out of the quoted context during mark/unmark operations, allowing arbitrary Vimscript execution. This can be leveraged to run shell commands with the privileges of the user...

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: Arbitrary command execution via crafted tags file in C omni-completion

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. An attacker could craft a malicious tags file that, when processed by Vim's C omni-completion feature, leads to insufficient escaping of input. This vulnerability allows for the execution of arbitrary Ex commands and, subsequently,...

An update for Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs is now available. This update includes the following RPMs: vim: vim-X11-9.2.967-1.1.hum1 aarch64, x8664 vim-common-9.2.967-1.1.hum1 aarch64, x8664 vim-data-9.2.967-1.1.hum1 noarch vim-default-editor-9.2.967-1.1.hum1 noarch vim-enhanced-9.2.967-1.1.hum1...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary Code Execution via crafted directory names

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source text editor. This vulnerability, located in the netrw plugin, involves a code injection issue when the editor processes directory paths. A malicious directory name, if crafted by an attacker, could bypass security measures and allow for the execution of...

vim: arbitrary command execution via modeline sandbox bypass

A flaw was found in Vim. A modeline is used to set specific editor options directly from a text file. However, the complete, guitabtooltip, printheader options and the mapset function lack proper security checks, allowing an attacker to bypass restrictions and cause arbitrary OS command execution...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution via Python omni-completion

A flaw was found in Vim, a widely used command-line text editor. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. By opening a specially crafted Python file and then triggering the omni-completion feature, the attacker can cause Vim to run malicious code from a...

vim: Vim zip.vim plugin: Arbitrary file overwrite via path traversal bypass

A flaw was found in Vim's zip.vim plugin. A local user could be tricked into opening a specially crafted zip archive, which would allow a path traversal bypass. This vulnerability enables an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system, potentially leading to data integrity issues or furth...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution via crafted step-definition patterns

A flaw was found in Vim, a command-line text editor. This vulnerability, identified as a code injection, affects the cucumber filetype plugin when Vim is configured with Ruby support. An attacker could exploit this by creating a malicious repository containing specially crafted step-definition...

vim: Vim: Denial of Service via out-of-bounds write in terminal handling

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. This vulnerability allows a program displaying output in a Vim terminal window to trigger an out-of-bounds write by sending a specific byte sequence. This can lead to a crash of the Vim application, resulting in a Denial of Service...

vim: Vim: Heap buffer overflow allows arbitrary code execution or denial of service

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. A heap buffer overflow exists in the readcompound function when processing a specially crafted spell file .spl with UTF-8 encoding active. A remote attacker could exploit this by convincing a user to open a text file containing a...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary command execution via :find command-line completion

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. An attacker who controls the contents of a file can exploit an OS command injection vulnerability in Vim's :find command-line completion. This occurs when the path option, which can be set from a modeline, contains backtick-enclose...

vim: Vim: Out-of-bounds Read with Text Properties

A flaw was found in Vim, an open source command-line text editor. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted undo or swap file. When Vim processes this file, an out-of-bounds read occurs, which can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information from memory...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution via crafted zip archive entry names

A security vulnerability exists in the Vim text editor. If a user opens a specially crafted ZIP file in Vim, it can trick the application into running hidden, harmful commands on their computer. This specific issue is only triggered if Vim relies on PowerShell to open the ZIP file...

vim: Vim: Denial of service via crafted undo file

A flaw in Vim allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service DoS via an application crash. If a user opens a maliciously crafted undo file, an out-of-bounds read is triggered in the gettextprops function due to missing length validation on property counts...
