Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader->js_buf + reader->js_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0880 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-73074:
    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, prop_add_one() in src/textprop.c uses     the proplen value from get_text_props() to increment a uint16_t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the     count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for none of them.
    This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0841.

    CVE-2026-73072:
    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, set_sofo() in src/spellfile.c reuses     sl_sal_first[] without resetting values left by set_sal_first(), so a crafted spell file containing an     SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced writes     beyond a heap allocation. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0846.

    CVE-2026-73071:
    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in     src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free     the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader->js_buf +     reader->js_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.

    CVE-2026-43961:
    A flaw was found in Vim's netrw plugin. A crafted filename containing quote characters and expression     fragments can break out of the quoted context during mark/unmark operations, allowing arbitrary Vimscript     execution. This can be leveraged to run shell commands with the privileges of the user running Vim.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2108 advisory.

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0842, the socket server backend in     src/socketserver.c accepts unbounded client connections in socketserver_accept(), causing descriptors to     overflow fd_set structures in src/channel.c and fixed-size struct pollfd arrays in src/os_unix.c, which     allows a local process that can connect to the server socket to corrupt stack memory or terminate the Vim     server. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0842. (CVE-2026-73070)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in     src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free     the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader->js_buf +     reader->js_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0844.
    (CVE-2026-73071)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, set_sofo() in src/spellfile.c reuses     sl_sal_first[] without resetting values left by set_sal_first(), so a crafted spell file containing an     SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced writes     beyond a heap allocation. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0846. (CVE-2026-73072)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0845, StructMembers() in     runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim constructs and executes a vimgrep command using an insufficiently escaped     typeref: or typename: value from a tags file, allowing an unterminated collection followed by a command     separator to execute arbitrary Ex and operating-system commands when a user invokes C omni-completion with     CTRL-X CTRL-O on a member access whose type is resolved from that tags file. This issue is fixed in     version 9.2.0845. (CVE-2026-73073)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, prop_add_one() in src/textprop.c uses     the proplen value from get_text_props() to increment a uint16_t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the     count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for none of them.
    This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0841. (CVE-2026-73074)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0469 until 9.2.0843, popup_mark_opacity_zindex()     in src/popupwin.c can use a negative w_winrow for a text-property-anchored popup with clipwindow and     opacity, indexing before the screen array instead of accounting for w_popup_topoff and causing an out-of-     bounds read and conditional write. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0843. (CVE-2026-73075)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0847, runtime/autoload/vimball.vim allows a     crafted vimball member named .VimballRecord to overwrite the installation record with attacker-chosen     commands. When vimball#RmVimball() later processes the matching record entry, the stored Ex commands,     including operating-system commands invoked through :!, execute with the privileges of the user running     Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0847. (CVE-2026-73076)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0839, the runtime/ftplugin/sh.vim,     runtime/ftplugin/zsh.vim, and runtime/ftplugin/ps1.vim filetype plugins pass attacker-controlled Visual-     mode selections from K through keywordprg commands without safely separating shell arguments.
    fnameescape() and PATH_ESC_CHARS do not neutralize shell metacharacters before ShKeywordPrg,     ZshKeywordPrg, or GetHelp invokes bash, zsh, or PowerShell, allowing arbitrary operating-system commands     to execute with the privileges of the user running Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0839.
    (CVE-2026-73077)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0840, runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim loads     netrw and runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim constructs Bookmarks, History, and Targets menu     entries by interpolating attacker-controlled directory paths into executed :menu commands.
    s:NetrwBookmarkMenu(), s:NetrwTgtMenu(), g:netrw_menu_escape, EX_TRLBAR, and netrw#MakeTgt() fail to     neutralize the | command separator or single quotes at five construction sites, allowing a crafted path     browsed or bookmarked in GUI Vim to execute arbitrary Ex and operating-system commands. This issue is     fixed in version 9.2.0840. (CVE-2026-73078)

    - Allow `wrap` and `linebreak` to be set from a modeline (bsc#1268162).
    - Point `SYS_VIMRC_FILE` at `$VIMRUNTIME/suse.vimrc` rather than `/etc/vimrc`, which we no longer own     (bsc#1268162).
    - Update `suse.vimrc`: source `/etc/vimrc` at the end of the file, so that a local system vimrc still     overrides the       distribution defaults.
    - Guard `suse.vimrc` against re-entry to prevent an infinite sourcing loop (bsc#1271684).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Vim installed on the remote host is between 9.2.0511 and 9.2.0844 (exclusive). It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the GHSA-69ch-22ch-r887 advisory.

  - From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, json_decode_item() in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after     json_decode_string() invokes channel_fill() to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read     freed memory instead of reader->js_buf + reader->js_used when an invalid JSON string spans buffers.
    (CVE-2026-73071)
