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

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 463109

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 9.2.0839, the runtime/ftplugin/sh.vim,
 runtime/ftplugin/zsh.vim, and runtime/ftplugin/ps1.vim filetype plugins pass attacker-controlled Visual-
 mode selections from K through keywordprg commands without safely separating shell arguments.
 fnameescape() and PATH_ESC_CHARS do not neutralize shell metacharacters before ShKeywordPrg,
 ZshKeywordPrg, or GetHelp invokes bash, zsh, or PowerShell, allowing arbitrary operating-system commands
 to execute with the privileges of the user running Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0839.
 (CVE-2026-73077)

Solution

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