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

  - 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)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed     window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue     has been addressed in commit `25aabc2b` which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are     advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48231)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. If the count after the :s command is larger than what fits     into a (signed) long variable, abort with e_value_too_large. Impact is low, user interaction is required     and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `ac6378773`     which has been included in release version 9.0.2108. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48233)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When getting the count for a normal mode z command, it may     overflow for large counts given. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even     happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `58f9befca1` which has been included in     release version 9.0.2109. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this     vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48234)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When parsing relative ex addresses one may unintentionally     cause an overflow. Ironically this happens in the existing overflow check, because the line number becomes     negative and LONG_MAX - lnum will cause the overflow. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a     crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `060623e` which has     been included in release version 9.0.2110. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds     for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48235)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When using the z= command, the user may overflow the count     with values larger than MAX_INT. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even     happen in all situations. This vulnerability has been addressed in commit `73b2d379` which has been     included in release version 9.0.2111. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for     this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48236)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. In affected versions when shifting lines in operator     pending mode and using a very large value, it may be possible to overflow the size of integer. Impact is     low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been     addressed in commit `6bf131888` which has been included in version 9.0.2112. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48237)

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1969. (CVE-2023-5344)

  - NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 20d161ace307e28690229b68584f2d84556f8960.
    (CVE-2023-5441)

  - Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to v9.0.2010. (CVE-2023-5535)
