Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: vim
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs Fixed: immunix/1521
Date: March 28, 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-011-01
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
An attacker could embed malicious VIM control codes into a file, and
as soon as any user opened that file in vim-enhanced or vim-X11 with
the status line option enabled in .vimrc, the commands would be
executed as that user. For more information on this see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/17299
