Echo: vim: security update to 2:9.2.0782-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464795

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 9.2.0699, Vim's Python omni-completion
 (runtime/autoload/python3complete.vim and the legacy pythoncomplete.vim) executes reconstructed function
 and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of populating the completion dictionary.
 When reconstructing that source, each scope's docstring is inserted verbatim between triple quotes with no
 escaping, so a hostile buffer can break out of the triple-quoted literal and execute attacker-controlled
 Python during omni-completion. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0699. (CVE-2026-57456)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0782-1 or later.
