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 ALAS2-2021-1728 advisory.

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VIM v.8.1.2135 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the     operand parameter. (CVE-2020-20703)
