EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : vim (EulerOS-SA-2019-2679)

high Nessus Plugin ID 132214

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - fileio.c in Vim prior to 8.0.1263 sets the group ownership of a .swp file to the editor's primary group (which may be different from the group ownership of the original file), which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an applicable group membership, as demonstrated by /etc/shadow owned by root:shadow mode 0640, but /etc/.shadow.swp owned by root:users mode 0640, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-1000382.(CVE-2017-17087)

 - 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 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.

Solution

Update the affected vim packages.
