Description: Conectiva has issued updated packages for vim. These fix an old vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. It is possible to create malicious text files that can execute arbitrary commands when loaded into vim. The problem is that vim parses the text file and looks for comments, which can be exploited to call external commands. Solution: Apply updated packages. -- Conectiva Linux 8 -- SRPM: ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/SRPMS/vim-6.1-1U80_1cl.src.rpm RPMS: ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-common-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-enhanced-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-help-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-minimal-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-syntax-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/vim-X11-6.1-1U80_1cl.i386.rpm Original Advisory: http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=000812
