vim before patch 8.0.0322 does not properly validate values for tree length when handling a spell file, which may result in an integer overflow at a memory allocation site and a resultant buffer overflow.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - vim: Integer overflow at an unserialize_uep memory allocation site (CVE-2017-6350)

  - VIM version 8.0.1187 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask when creating a swap file     ([ORIGINAL_FILENAME].swp) resulting in files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways     not intended by the user running the vi binary. (CVE-2017-1000382)

  - Vim 8.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted source (aka -S) file. NOTE: there might be a limited number of scenarios in which     this has security relevance. (CVE-2017-11109)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

(CVE-2009-0316)

  - vim before patch 8.0.0056 does not properly validate values for the 'filetype', 'syntax' and 'keymap'     options, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a file with a specially crafted modeline     is opened. (CVE-2016-1248)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-26 (Vim, gVim: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Vim and gVim. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted spell       file using Vim or gVim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the versions of the vim packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability was found in vim in how certain     modeline options were treated. An attacker could craft     a file that, when opened in vim with modelines enabled,     could execute arbitrary commands with privileges of the     user running vim. (CVE-2016-1248)

  - vim before patch 8.0.0322 does not properly validate     values for tree length when handling a spell file,     which may result in an integer overflow at a memory     allocation site and a resultant buffer     overflow.(CVE-2017-5953)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way vim handled tree length values when reading an undo file. This bug could result in vim crashing when trying to process corrupted undo files. (CVE-2017-6350)

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for vim fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-5953: Fixed a possible overflow with corrupted     spell file (bsc#1024724)

Editor spell files passed to the vim (Vi IMproved) editor may result in an integer overflow in memory allocation and a resulting buffer overflow which potentially could result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

A vulnerability has been discovered in Vim where a malformed spell file could cause an integer overflow which is used as the size for memory allocation, resulting in a subsequent buffer overflow.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:7.3.547-7+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your vim packages.
