Ulf Harnhammar discovered that vim does not properly sanitise the β€˜helptags_one()’ function when running the β€˜helptags’ command. By tricking a user into running a crafted help file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user’s privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
