| Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Ubuntu 4.10 USN-52-1 (vim) |
| Summary: | Ubuntu 4.10 USN-52-1 (vim) |
| Description: | The remote host is missing an update to vim announced via advisory USN-52-1. Ciaran McCreesh found several vulnerabilities related to the use of options in Vim modeline commands, such as 'termcap', 'printdevice', 'titleold', 'filetype', 'syntax', 'backupext', 'keymap', 'patchmode', and 'langmenu'. If an attacker tricked an user to open a file with a specially crafted modeline, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands with the user's privileges. The following packages are affected: kvim vim vim-gnome vim-gtk vim-lesstif vim-perl vim-python vim-tcl Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:6.3-025+1ubuntu2.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2004-December/000054.html Risk factor : High |
