Alpine: gvim, multiple vim packages, xxd: security update to 9.2.0452-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441632

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 9.2.0450, a heap buffer overflow exists
 in read_compound() in src/spellfile.c when loading a crafted spell file (.spl) with UTF-8 encoding active.
 An attacker-controlled length field in the spell file's compound section overflows a 32-bit signed integer
 multiplication, causing a small buffer to be allocated for a write loop that runs many iterations,
 overflowing the heap. Because the 'spelllang' option can be set from a modeline, a text file modeline can
 trigger spell file loading if a malicious .spl file has been planted on the runtimepath. This issue has
 been patched in version 9.2.0450. (CVE-2026-45130)

Solution

Update the gvim library and its related packages to version 9.2.0452-r0 or later.
