How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 vim to version 2:7.2.010-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Netrw plugin 125 in netrw.vim in Vim 7.2a.10 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in filenames used by the execute and system functions within the (1) mz and (2) mc commands, as demonstrated by the netrw.v2 and netrw.v3 test cases. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2712.
