Vim (Vi IMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor.

Security Fix(es):

  • A vulnerability was found in vim in how certain modeline options were treated. An attacker could craft a file that, when opened in vim with modelines enabled, could execute arbitrary commands with privileges of the user running vim. (CVE-2016-1248)
