medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437688

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 version 9.1.2132, a heap buffer overflow
 vulnerability exists in Vim's tag file resolution logic when processing the 'helpfile' option. The
 vulnerability is located in the get_tagfname() function in src/tag.c. When processing help file tags, Vim
 copies the user-controlled 'helpfile' option value into a fixed-size heap buffer of MAXPATHL + 1 bytes
 (typically 4097 bytes) using an unsafe STRCPY() operation without any bounds checking. This issue has been
 patched in version 9.1.2132. (CVE-2026-25749)
