Alpine: gvim, multiple vim packages, xxd: security update to 9.2.0677-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443970

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 9.2.0670, get_text_props() in src/textprop.c
 reads a uint16 property count stored inline after a line's text and returns it as the number of 32-byte
 textprop_T entries that follow. The only check is a floor that guarantees room for a single entry; the
 count is never checked against the amount of data actually present. A line that declares a large count
 while carrying little data causes consumers to read far past the end of the line buffer. Such a line can
 be delivered through a crafted undo file, leading to a crash. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0670.
 (CVE-2026-57451)

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0671, when Vim opens a file encrypted with
 the VimCrypt~04! or VimCrypt~05! method (xchacha20poly1305, requires the +sodium feature) whose body is
 shorter than a single libsodium secretstream header, an unsigned length calculation underflows and a
 subsequent decryption call reads far past the end of the input buffer, crashing Vim. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 9.2.0671. (CVE-2026-57452)

Solution

Update the gvim library and its related packages to version 9.2.0677-r0 or later.
