Echo: vim: security update to 2:9.2.0858-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459218

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 9.2.0840, runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim loads
 netrw and runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim constructs Bookmarks, History, and Targets menu
 entries by interpolating attacker-controlled directory paths into executed :menu commands.
 s:NetrwBookmarkMenu(), s:NetrwTgtMenu(), g:netrw_menu_escape, EX_TRLBAR, and netrw#MakeTgt() fail to
 neutralize the | command separator or single quotes at five construction sites, allowing a crafted path
 browsed or bookmarked in GUI Vim to execute arbitrary Ex and operating-system commands. This issue is
 fixed in version 9.2.0840. (CVE-2026-73078)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0858-1 or later.
