Descriptions

Vim 7.1.314, 6.4, and other versions allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via Vim scripts that do not properly sanitize inputs before invoking the execute or system functions, as demonstrated using (1) filetype.vim, (3) xpm.vim, (4) gzip_vim, and (5) netrw. NOTE: the originally reported version was 7.1.314, but the researcher actually found this set of issues in 7.1.298. NOTE: the zipplugin issue (originally vector 2 in this identifier) has been subsumed by CVE-2008-3075.

Vim 7.1.314, 6.4 y otras versiones, permiten a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario ejecutar comandos de su elección a través de secuencias de comandos Vim que cuyos inputs no son limpiados correctamente previa a la ejecución o las funciones del sistema como se ha demostrado con (1) filetype.vim, (2) zipplugin, (3) xpm.vim, (4) gzip_vim y (5) netrw.
