The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xxd package and not the xxd package as distributed by Centos.
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0847, runtime/autoload/vimball.vim allows a crafted vimball member named .VimballRecord to overwrite the installation record with attacker-chosen commands. When vimball#RmVimball() later processes the matching record entry, the stored Ex commands, including operating-system commands invoked through :!, execute with the privileges of the user running Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0847.
