EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.2.0 : vim (EulerOS-SA-2020-1957)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 140327

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the vim packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A flaw was found in vim in the restricted mode, where all commands that make use of external shells are disabled. However, it was found that users could still execute some arbitrary OS commands in the restricted mode. This flaw was fixed by filtering the functions that can call OS commands. Interfaces such as Python, Ruby, and Lua, are also disabled, as they can be used to execute shell commands. Perl uses the Safe module.(CVE-2019-20807)

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 package.
