| vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow | |||||
| CVE-2026-46483 | 1 Vim | 1 Vim | 2026-05-19 | N/A | 3.6 LOW |
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0479, a command injection vulnerability exists in tar#Vimuntar() in runtime/autoload/tar.vim when decompressing .tgz archives on Unix-like systems. The function builds :!gunzip and :!gzip -d commands using shellescape(tartail) without the {special} flag, allowing a crafted archive filename to trigger Vim cmdline-special expansion and execute shell commands in the user's context. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0479. | |||||
| CVE-2026-45130 | 1 Vim | 1 Vim | 2026-05-18 | N/A | 6.6 MEDIUM |
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0450, a heap buffer overflow exists in read_compound() in src/spellfile.c when loading a crafted spell file (.spl) with UTF-8 encoding active. An attacker-controlled length field in the spell file's compound section overflows a 32-bit signed integer multiplication, causing a small buffer to be allocated for a write loop that runs many iterations, overflowing the heap. Because the 'spelllang' option can be set from a modeline, a text file modeline can trigger spell file loading if a malicious .spl file has been planted on the runtimepath. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0450. | |||||
| CVE-2026-44656 | 1 Vim | 1 Vim | 2026-05-14 | N/A | 5.3 MEDIUM |
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0435, an OS command injection vulnerability exists in Vim's :find command-line completion. When the path option contains backtick-enclosed shell commands, those commands are executed during file name completion. Because the path option lacks the P_SECURE flag, it can be set from a modeline, allowing an attacker who controls the contents of a file to execute arbitrary shell commands when the user opens that file in Vim and triggers :find completion. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0435. | |||||
| CVE-2026-42307 | 1 Vim | 1 Vim | 2026-05-14 | N/A | 4.4 MEDIUM |
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0383, an OS command injection vulnerability exists in the netrw standard plugin bundled with Vim. By inducing a user to open a crafted URL (e.g., using the sftp:// or file:// protocol handlers), an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the Vim process. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0383. | |||||
| CVE-2017-17087 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Vim | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Vim | 2026-05-13 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| fileio.c in Vim prior to 8.0.1263 sets the group ownership of a .swp file to the editor's primary group (which may be different from the group ownership of the original file), which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an applicable group membership, as demonstrated by /etc/shadow owned by root:shadow mode 0640, but /etc/.shadow.swp owned by root:users mode 0640, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-1000382. | |||||
| CVE-2017-11109 | 1 Vim | 1 Vim | 2026-05-13 | 6.8 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
