How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 vim-filesystem to version 2:8.0.1763-11.el8_0 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:1619.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim-filesystem package and not the vim-filesystem package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

getchar.c in Vim before 8.1.1365 and Neovim before 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the :source! command in a modeline, as demonstrated by execute in Vim, and assert_fails or nvim_input in Neovim.
