Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.704487
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-4487-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'neovim' package(s) announced via the DSA-4487-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'neovim' package(s) announced via the DSA-4487-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
User Arminius discovered a vulnerability in Vim, an enhanced version of the standard UNIX editor Vi (Vi IMproved), which also affected the Neovim fork, an extensible editor focused on modern code and features:

Editors typically provide a way to embed editor configuration commands (aka modelines) which are executed once a file is opened, while harmful commands are filtered by a sandbox mechanism. It was discovered that the source command (used to include and execute another file) was not filtered, allowing shell command execution with a carefully crafted file opened in Neovim.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.7-4+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your neovim packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'neovim' package(s) on Debian 9.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
9.3
