EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.0 : vim (EulerOS-SA-2024-1708)

high Nessus Plugin ID 197220

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1531. (CVE-2023-2609)

 - Vim is an improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Heap-use-after-free in memory allocated in the function `ga_grow_inner` in in the file `src/alloc.c` at line 748, which is freed in the file `src/ex_docmd.c` in the function `do_cmdline` at line 1010 and then used again in `src/cmdhist.c` at line 759. When using the `:history` command, it's possible that the provided argument overflows the accepted value. Causing an Integer Overflow and potentially later an use-after-free. This vulnerability has been patched in version 9.0.2068. (CVE-2023-46246)

 - Out-of-bounds Write in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1847. (CVE-2023-4735)

 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1331. (CVE-2023-4751)

 - 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 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)

 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1969. (CVE-2023-5344)

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.
