How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 vim to version 1:7.1-022+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 sandbox for vim allows dangerous functions such as (1) writefile, (2) feedkeys, and (3) system, which might allow user-assisted attackers to execute shell commands and write files via modelines.
