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

The version of vim installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-2264 advisory.

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0. (CVE-2022-2264)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1639 advisory.

    A flaw was found in vim, which is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read in the msg_outtrans_special     function. This flaw allows a specially crafted file to crash software or execute code when opened in vim.
    (CVE-2022-2257)

    A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Vim's inc() function of misc2.c. This issue occurs     because Vim reads beyond the end of the line with a put command. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a     user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering an out-of-bounds read that causes a crash in the     CLI tool. (CVE-2022-2264)

    Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0. (CVE-2022-2284)

    Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0. (CVE-2022-2285)

    Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0. (CVE-2022-2289)

    A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Vim's spell_dump_compl() function of the     src/spell.c file. This issue occurs because the spell dump goes beyond the end of an array when crafted     input is processed. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted file,     triggering an out-of-bounds write that causes an application to crash, possibly executing code and     corrupting memory. (CVE-2022-2304)

    A heap-based buffer overflow was found in Vim in the ins_compl_add function in the insexpand.c file. This     issue occurs due to a read past the end of a buffer when a specially crafted input is processed. This flaw     allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into triggering the heap-     based buffer overflow, causing the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-2343)

    A heap-based buffer overflow was found in Vim in the ins_compl_add function in the insexpand.c file. This     issue occurs due to a read past the end of a buffer when a specially crafted input is processed. This flaw     allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into triggering the heap-     based buffer overflow, causing the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-2344)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in Vim in the skipwhite function in the charset.c file. This     issue occurs because an already freed memory is used when a specially crafted input is processed. This     flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into triggering the     use-after-free, and cause the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-2345)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in Vim in the check_vim9_unlet function in the vim9cmds.c     file. This issue occurs because of invalid memory access when compiling the unlet command when a specially     crafted input is processed. This flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially     crafted file into triggering the out-of-bounds read, causing the application to crash, possibly executing     code and corrupting memory. (CVE-2022-2816)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in Vim in the string_quote function in the strings.c file. This     issue occurs because an already freed memory is used when a specially crafted input is processed. This     flaw allows an attacker who can trick a user into opening a specially crafted file into triggering the     use-after-free, causing the application to crash, possibly executing code and corrupting memory.
    (CVE-2022-2817)

    A flaw was found in vim. The vulnerability occurs due to illegal memory access and leads to a heap buffer     overflow vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted file, leading to a crash     or code execution. (CVE-2022-2819)
