The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - vim: buffer overflow (CVE-2020-20703)

  - vim: use-after-free in skipwhite() in charset.c (CVE-2022-2345)

  - libvterm through 0+bzr726, as used in Vim and other products, mishandles certain out-of-memory conditions,     leading to a denial of service (application crash), related to screen.c, state.c, and vterm.c.
    (CVE-2018-20786)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1826 advisory.

  - vim 8.2.2348 is affected by null pointer dereference, allows local attackers to cause a denial of service     (DoS) via the ex_buffer_all method. (CVE-2021-3236)

  - Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1846. (CVE-2023-4734)

  - 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 9.0.1873. (CVE-2023-4781)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2266 advisory.
