Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50497
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-61-1 (vim)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to vim announced via advisory USN-61-1. Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena noticed that the auxillary scripts 'tcltags' and 'vimspell.sh' created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the script (either by calling it directly or by execution through vim). 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+1ubuntu2.2. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2005-January/000063.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
