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

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462516

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 9.2.0846, 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)

Solution

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