Alpine: gvim, multiple vim packages, xxd: security update to 9.2.0663-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443613

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0662, the dump_prefixes() function in
 src/spell.c walks a spell-file prefix trie iteratively with a depth counter while dumping the prefixes
 that apply to a word. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked
 against the size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (prefix[], arridx[], curi[]). A
 crafted .spl file, loaded when the user dumps the word list, can drive the descent arbitrarily deep, so
 the function writes past the end of those arrays. This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the
 call frame and crashes the editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0662. (CVE-2026-55892)

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0663, a Vimscript code injection
 vulnerability exists in s:NetrwLocalRmFile() in the netrw plugin
 (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when deleting a local file from the browser. A filename
 derived from the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into an Ex command line passed to :execute
 with only the backslash character escaped, allowing a crafted filename containing a bar (|) to terminate
 the intended command and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via :call system() and :!.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0663. (CVE-2026-55895)

Solution

Update the gvim library and its related packages to version 9.2.0663-r0 or later.
