Vim is an efficient, highly configurable improved version of the
|
||
|
|
classic 'vi' text editor. gVim is the GUI version of Vim.

Gentoo's Vim maintainer, Ciaran McCreesh, found several
|
||
|
|
vulnerabilities related to the use of options in Vim modelines. Options
|
||
|
|
like 'termcap', 'printdevice', 'titleold', 'filetype', 'syntax',
|
||
|
|
'backupext', 'keymap', 'patchmode' or 'langmenu' could be abused.

A local attacker could write a malicious file in a world readable
|
||
|
|
location which, when opened in a modeline-enabled Vim, could trigger
|
||
|
|
arbitrary commands with the rights of the user opening the file,
|
||
|
|
resulting in privilege escalation. Please note that modelines are
|
||
|
|
disabled by default in the /etc/vimrc file provided in Gentoo.

All Vim users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
||
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/vim-6.3-r2"</code>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
All gVim users should also upgrade to the latest version:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
||
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/gvim-6.3-r2"</code>
