NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : vim Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2025-0141)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242732

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has vim packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Vim before 9.0.2142 has a stack-based buffer overflow because did_set_langmap in map.c calls sprintf to write to the error buffer that is passed down to the option callback functions. (CVE-2024-22667)

- Vim is an improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Heap-use-after-free in memory allocated in the function `ga_grow_inner` in in the file `src/alloc.c` at line 748, which is freed in the file `src/ex_docmd.c` in the function `do_cmdline` at line 1010 and then used again in `src/cmdhist.c` at line 759. When using the `:history` command, it's possible that the provided argument overflows the accepted value. Causing an Integer Overflow and potentially later an use-after-free. This vulnerability has been patched in version 9.0.2068. (CVE-2023-46246)

- Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1840. (CVE-2023-4733)

- Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1846. (CVE-2023-4734)

- Out-of-bounds Write in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1847. (CVE-2023-4735)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
