The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5613-2 advisory.
USN-5613-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Vim. Unfortunately that update failed to include binary packages for some architectures. This update fixes that regression.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing bounds checks
when executing spell suggestion commands. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-0943)
It was discovered that Vim was using freed memory when dealing with
regular expressions through its old regular expression engine. If a user
were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could
crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly achieve
code execution. (CVE-2022-1154)
It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing checks on name of
lambda functions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue affected only Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
(CVE-2022-1420)
It was discovered that Vim was incorrectly performing bounds checks
when processing invalid commands with composing characters in Ex
mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1616)
It was discovered that Vim was not properly processing latin1 data
when issuing Ex commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1619)
It was discovered that Vim was not properly performing memory
management when dealing with invalid regular expression patterns in
buffers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2022-1620)
It was discovered that Vim was not properly processing invalid bytes
when performing spell check operations. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-1621)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
