CVE-2008-2712

Vim 7.1.314, 6.4, and other versions allows user-assisted remote attackers
to execute arbitrary commands via Vim scripts that do not properly sanitize
inputs before invoking the execute or system functions, as demonstrated
using (1) filetype.vim, (3) xpm.vim, (4) gzip_vim, and (5) netrw. NOTE:
the originally reported version was 7.1.314, but the researcher actually
found this set of issues in 7.1.298. NOTE: the zipplugin issue (originally
vector 2 in this identifier) has been subsumed by CVE-2008-3075.
