Descriptions

src/configure.in in Vim 5.0 through 7.1, when used for a build with Python support, does not ensure that the Makefile-conf temporary file has the intended ownership and permissions, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying this file during a time window, or by creating it ahead of time with permissions that prevent its modification by configure.

El archivo src/configure.in en Vim versiones 5.0 hasta 7.1, cuando es usado para una compilación con soporte de Python, no garantiza que el archivo temporal Makefile-conf tenga la propiedad y los permisos previstos, lo que permite a usuarios locales ejecutar código arbitrario mediante la modificación de este archivo durante una ventana de tiempo o creándolo de antemano con permisos que impiden su modificación al configurarlo.
