VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is a version of the vi editor.
An arbitrary command execution flaw was found in the way VIM processes
modelines. If a user with modelines enabled opened a text file containing
a carefully crafted modeline, arbitrary commands could be executed as the user
running VIM. (CVE-2007-2438)
Users of VIM are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Please note: this issue did not affect VIM as distributed with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 4.
