Security Advisory Updated vim packages available

Advisory: RHSA-2001:008-04
Type: Security Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2001-01-29
Last updated on: 2001-07-10
Affected Products: Red Hat Linux 6.2
Red Hat Linux 7.0
CVEs (cve.mitre.org): CVE-2001-0408

Details

Updated vim packages fixing a security problem are available.

Users could embed malicious VIM control codes into a file - as soon as any
user opened that file in vim-enhanced or vim-X11 with the status line
option enabled in .vimrc, the commands would be executed as that user.


Solution

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh <filenames>

where <filenames> is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directly *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
