CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: vim (CVE-2025-29768)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 233333

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of vim installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-29768 advisory.

 - Vim, a text editor, is vulnerable to potential data loss with zip.vim and special crafted zip files in versions prior to 9.1.1198. The impact is medium because a user must be made to view such an archive with Vim and then press 'x' on such a strange filename. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1198.
 (CVE-2025-29768)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
