Several input sanitization flaws were found in Vim’s keyword and tag handling. If Vim looked up a document’s maliciously crafted tag or keyword, it was possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Vim. (CVE-2008-4101)
SL3 and SL4 Only: A heap-based overflow flaw was discovered in Vim’s expansion of file name patterns with shell wildcards. An attacker could create a specially crafted file or directory name that, when opened by Vim, caused the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-3432)
SL5 Only: Multiple security flaws were found in netrw.vim, the Vim plug-in providing file reading and writing over the network. If a user opened a specially crafted file or directory with the netrw plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user running Vim.
(CVE-2008-3076)
SL5 Only: A security flaw was found in zip.vim, the Vim plug-in that handles ZIP archive browsing. If a user opened a ZIP archive using the zip.vim plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user running Vim. (CVE-2008-3075)
SL5 Only: A security flaw was found in tar.vim, the Vim plug-in which handles TAR archive browsing. If a user opened a TAR archive using the tar.vim plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user runnin Vim. (CVE-2008-3074)
Several input sanitization flaws were found in various Vim system functions. If a user opened a specially crafted file, it was possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Vim. (CVE-2008-2712)
Ulf Härnhammar, of Secunia Research, discovered a format string flaw in Vim’s help tag processor. If a user was tricked into executing the ‘helptags’ command on malicious data, arbitrary code could be executed with the permissions of the user running Vim. (CVE-2007-2953)
