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

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460626

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 9.2.0698, the single-byte branch of
 spell_soundfold_sofo() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SOFO (sound-folding) byte
 map into a caller-owned result buffer. Its copy loop advances the output index ri with no upper bound and
 terminates only on the input NUL, writing one byte per input byte into the MAXWLEN-element stack buffer
 the caller provides. A word longer than MAXWLEN, passed to soundfold() (or reached via sound-based spell
 suggestion) while a SOFO-based spell language is active, therefore writes past the end of that buffer.
 This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0698. (CVE-2026-57455)

Solution

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