Alpine: gvim, multiple vim packages, xxd: security update to 9.1.0678-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 424644

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The UNIX editor Vim prior to version 9.1.0678 has a use-after-free error in argument list handling. When
 adding a new file to the argument list, this triggers `Buf*` autocommands. If in such an autocommand the
 buffer that was just opened is closed (including the window where it is shown), this causes the window
 structure to be freed which contains a reference to the argument list that we are actually modifying. Once
 the autocommands are completed, the references to the window and argument list are no longer valid and as
 such cause an use-after-free. Impact is low since the user must either intentionally add some unusual
 autocommands that wipe a buffer during creation (either manually or by sourcing a malicious plugin), but
 it will crash Vim. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0678. (CVE-2024-43374)
