<background>
<p>Vim is an efficient, highly configurable improved version of the classic
vi text editor. gVim is the GUI version of Vim.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
It was found that the <code>:source!</code> command was not restricted by
the sandbox mode. If modeline was explicitly enabled, opening a specially
crafted text file in vim could result in arbitrary command execution.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
using Vim or gVim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Vim users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/vim-8.1.1486"
</code>
<p>All gVim users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/gvim-8.1.1486"
</code>
