vim vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - kvim - kvim-perl - kvim-python - kvim-tcl - vim - vim-common - vim-doc - vim-gnome - vim-gtk - vim-lesstif - vim-perl - vim-python - vim-tcl Description : Georgi Guninski discovered that it was possible to construct Vim modelines that execute arbitrary shell commands by wrapping them in glob() or expand() function calls. If a possible hacker tricked an user to open a file with a specially crafted modeline, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands with the user's rights. Solution : Upgrade to : - kvim-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - kvim-perl-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - kvim-python-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - kvim-tcl-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-common-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-doc-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-gnome-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-gtk-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-lesstif-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-perl-6.3-046+1ubuntu7.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - vim-python-6 [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
