Echo: vim: security update to 2:9.2.0524-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458342

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 9.2.0496, a code injection vulnerability
 exists in s:stepmatch() in the cucumber filetype plugin (runtime/ftplugin/cucumber.vim) on Vim builds with
 +ruby support. Step-definition patterns read from .rb files under the repository's features/*/ or
 stories/*/ directories are embedded into a Ruby Kernel.eval argument without sufficient escaping, allowing
 a crafted pattern in an attacker-controlled repository to execute arbitrary Ruby (and through it arbitrary
 shell commands) when the user invokes a step-jump mapping ([d, ]d). This issue has been patched in version
 9.2.0496. (CVE-2026-47167)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0524-1 or later.
