Descriptions

The shellescape function in Vim 7.0 through 7.2, including 7.2a.10, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "!" (exclamation point) shell metacharacter in (1) the filename of a ZIP archive and possibly (2) the filename of the first file in a ZIP archive, which is not properly handled by zip.vim in the VIM ZIP plugin (zipPlugin.vim) v.11 through v.21, as demonstrated by the zipplugin and zipplugin.v2 test cases. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2712. NOTE: this issue has the same root cause as CVE-2008-3074. NOTE: due to the complexity of the associated disclosures and the incomplete information related to them, there may be inaccuracies in this CVE description and in external mappings to this identifier.

La funcion shellescape en Vim v7.0 hasta v7.2, incluida la v7.2a.10, permite atacantes asistidos por el usuario ejecutar codigo a su eleccion a traves del metacaracter "!" (exclamacion) en la linea de comandos en (1)El nombre de fichero de un archivo ZIP y posiblemente (2)el nombre del primer fichero de un archivo ZIP, el cual no es manejado adecuadamente por zip.vim en el plugin ZIP VIM (zipPlugin.vim) v.11 hasta v.21, como se ha demostrado en los casos de prueba zipplugin y zipplugin.v2. NOTA: Esta informacion es debido al arreglo incompleto de CVE-2008-3074. NOTA: Debido a la complejidad de los hechos relacionados y la incompleta informacion sobre este, probablemente existen inexactitudes en la descripcion de esta vulnerabilidad.
