EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : vim (EulerOS-SA-2020-2193)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 141737

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the vim packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - fileio.c in Vim prior to 8.0.1263 sets the group ownership of a .swp file to the editor's primary group (which may be different from the group ownership of the original file), which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an applicable group membership, as demonstrated by /etc/shadow owned by root:shadow mode 0640, but /etc/.shadow.swp owned by root:users mode 0640, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-1000382.(CVE-2017-17087)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected vim package.
