NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by RHEL.

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0276, a modeline sandbox bypass in Vim allows arbitrary OS command execution when a user opens a crafted file. The complete, guitabtooltip and printheader options are missing the P_MLE flag, allowing a modeline to be executed. Additionally, the mapset() function lacks a check_secure() call, allowing it to be abused from sandboxed expressions. Commit 9.2.0276 fixes the issue.
