Google: app-editors/vim, app-editors/vim-core: security update to 18657.0.0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 466769

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. Vim < v9.1.0647 has double free in src/alloc.c:616. When
closing a window, the corresponding tagstack data will be cleared and freed. However a bit later, the
quickfix list belonging to that window will also be cleared and if that quickfix list points to the same
tagstack data, Vim will try to free it again, resulting in a double-free/use-after-free access exception.
Impact is low since the user must intentionally execute vim with several non-default flags, but it may
cause a crash of Vim. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0647 (CVE-2024-41957)

Solution

Update the app-editors/vim library and its related packages to version 18657.0.0 or later.
