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

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463107

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 9.2.0735, the C omni-completion script in
 runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim interpolates the typeref: or typename: extension field of a tags entry,
 without escaping, into a :vimgrep pattern that is run through :execute. Because :vimgrep honors the bar as
 a command separator, a crafted tag field can close the search pattern and append an arbitrary Ex command;
 opening a hostile .c file whose project tags file contains such an entry and invoking C omni-completion
 runs that command as the editing user. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0735. (CVE-2026-59858)

Solution

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