Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated vim packages that fix a security issue are now available.
This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.
Description
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is a version of the vi editor.
A bug was found in the way VIM processes modelines. If a user with
modelines enabled opens a text file with a carefully crafted modeline,
arbitrary commands may be executed as the user running VIM. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2368
to this issue.
Users of VIM are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,

up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
