The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-45cf2b4014 advisory.

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed     window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue     has been addressed in commit `25aabc2b` which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are     advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48231)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. A floating point exception may occur when calculating the     line offset for overlong lines and smooth scrolling is enabled and the cpo-settings include the 'n' flag.
    This may happen when a window border is present and when the wrapped line continues on the next physical     line directly in the window border because the 'cpo' setting includes the 'n' flag. Only users with non-     default settings are affected and the exception should only result in a crash. This issue has been     addressed in commit `cb0b99f0` which has been included in release version 9.0.2107. Users are advised to     upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48232)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. If the count after the :s command is larger than what fits     into a (signed) long variable, abort with e_value_too_large. Impact is low, user interaction is required     and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `ac6378773`     which has been included in release version 9.0.2108. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48233)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When getting the count for a normal mode z command, it may     overflow for large counts given. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even     happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `58f9befca1` which has been included in     release version 9.0.2109. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this     vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48234)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When parsing relative ex addresses one may unintentionally     cause an overflow. Ironically this happens in the existing overflow check, because the line number becomes     negative and LONG_MAX - lnum will cause the overflow. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a     crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `060623e` which has     been included in release version 9.0.2110. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds     for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48235)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When using the z= command, the user may overflow the count     with values larger than MAX_INT. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even     happen in all situations. This vulnerability has been addressed in commit `73b2d379` which has been     included in release version 9.0.2111. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for     this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48236)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. In affected versions when shifting lines in operator     pending mode and using a very large value, it may be possible to overflow the size of integer. Impact is     low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been     addressed in commit `6bf131888` which has been included in version 9.0.2112. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48237)
