Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VIM v.8.1.2135 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the operand parameter.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 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: buffer overflow (CVE-2020-20703)

  - vim: Heap based buffer overflow in findfile.c (CVE-2021-3973)

  - vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3927, CVE-2021-3968, CVE-2021-4136,     CVE-2022-0213)

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

  - vim: buffer overflow (CVE-2020-20703)

  - vim: use-after-free in skipwhite() in charset.c (CVE-2022-2345)

  - libvterm through 0+bzr726, as used in Vim and other products, mishandles certain out-of-memory conditions,     leading to a denial of service (application crash), related to screen.c, state.c, and vterm.c.
    (CVE-2018-20786)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1557 advisory.
