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

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 463436

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 9.2.0736, the PHP omni-completion script in
 runtime/autoload/phpcomplete.vim interpolates a class or trait name, taken from the contents of the edited
 buffer, into a search() pattern that is run via win_execute() without escaping. A name containing a single
 quote can terminate the search() string argument early, and because the bar is honored as an Ex command
 separator, the remainder of the name is run as Ex commands; via the :! command this allows arbitrary
 operating-system command execution when a victim opens a crafted PHP file and invokes omni-completion.
 This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0736. (CVE-2026-59856)

Solution

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