Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2004:812
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2004:812. Vim is a highly configurable text editor. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Georgi Guninski found[1] a vulnerability[2] in vim that can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands when the user opens a text file specially crafted by an attacker. The vulnerability resides in the modelines feature, which allows one to place some VIM commands inside of a text file. This update includes a new version of vim (6.1+patches) which, besides the fix for the aforementioned vulnerability, contains several other bug fixes. The vim package distributed with Conectiva Linux 9 (vim-*-6.1-27650cl) is already patched and therefore not vulnerable to this issue. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.guninski.com/vim1.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-1377 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2004:812 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002004 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
