Google: app-editors/vim, app-editors/vim-core: security update to 18613.164.4

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 466689

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. A use-after-free was found in Vim < 9.1.0764. When
closing a buffer (visible in a window) a BufWinLeave auto command can cause an use-after-free if this auto
command happens to re-open the same buffer in a new split window. Impact is low since the user must have
intentionally set up such a strange auto command and run some buffer unload commands. However this may
lead to a crash. This issue has been addressed in version 9.1.0764 and all users are advised to upgrade.
There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-47814)

Solution

Update the app-editors/vim library and its related packages to version 18613.164.4 or later.
