Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47814

low Nessus Plugin ID 228449

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A use-after-free was found in Vim < 9.1.0764. When closing a buffer (visible in a window) a BufWinLeave auto command can cause an use-after-free if this auto command happens to re-open the same buffer in a new split window. Impact is low since the user must have intentionally set up such a strange auto command and run some buffer unload commands. However this may lead to a crash. This issue has been addressed in version 9.1.0764 and all users are advised to upgrade.
 There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-47814)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
