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

    Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Vim allows to redirect screen messages     using the `:redir` ex command to register, variables and files. It also allows to show the contents of     registers using the `:registers` or `:display` ex command. When redirecting the output of `:display` to a     register, Vim will free the register content before storing the new content in the register. Now when     redirecting the `:display` command to a register that is being displayed, Vim will free the content while     shortly afterwards trying to access it, which leads to a use-after-free. Vim pre 9.1.1115 checks in the     ex_display() function, that it does not try to redirect to a register while displaying this register at     the same time. However this check is not complete, and so Vim does not check the `+` and `*` registers     (which typically donate the X11/clipboard registers, and when a clipboard connection is not possible will     fall back to use register 0 instead. In Patch 9.1.1115 Vim will therefore skip outputting to register zero     when trying to redirect to the clipboard registers `*` or `+`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no     known workarounds for this vulnerability.(CVE-2025-26603)

    Vim, a text editor, is vulnerable to potential data loss with zip.vim and special crafted zip files in     versions prior to 9.1.1198. The impact is medium because a user must be made to view such an archive with     Vim and then press 'x' on such a strange filename. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch     v9.1.1198.(CVE-2025-29768)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS vim security advisory.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2827 advisory.

    A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in vim up to 9.1.1096. This vulnerability affects     unknown code of the file src/main.c. The manipulation of the argument --log leads to memory corruption. It     is possible to launch the attack on the local host. Upgrading to version 9.1.1097 is able to address this     issue. The patch is identified as c5654b84480822817bb7b69ebc97c174c91185e9. It is recommended to upgrade     the affected component. (CVE-2025-1215)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A segmentation fault was found in Vim before 9.1.1043. In     silent Ex mode (-s -e), Vim typically doesn't show a screen and just operates silently in batch mode.
    However, it is still possible to trigger the function that handles the scrolling of a gui version of Vim     by feeding some binary characters to Vim. The function that handles the scrolling however may be     triggering a redraw, which will access the ScreenLines pointer, even so this variable hasn't been     allocated (since there is no screen). This vulnerability is fixed in 9.1.1043. (CVE-2025-24014)

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 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. 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)

  - Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When     executing a `:s` command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the     substitution part, it is possible that the recursive `:s` call causes free-ing of memory which may later     then be accessed by the initial `:s` command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the     whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It     may also cause a crash of Vim. Version 9.0.2121 contains a fix for this issue. (CVE-2023-48706)
