Echo: vim: security update to 2:9.2.0858-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458385

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0725, the single-byte branch of
 spell_soundfold_sal() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SAL sound-folding rules into
 a caller-owned result buffer, but its result writes are guarded with reslen < MAXWLEN, allowing reslen to
 reach MAXWLEN before res[reslen] = NUL writes one byte past the end of the MAXWLEN-element stack buffer. A
 boundary-length word passed to soundfold(), or reached via sound-based spell suggestion while a SAL-based
 spell language is active under a non-multibyte 8-bit encoding, can corrupt the eval_soundfold() stack
 frame and crash the editor. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0725. (CVE-2026-59857)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0858-1 or later.
