Summary

The shellescape function in Vim 7.0 through 7.2, including 7.2a.10, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "!" (exclamation point) shell metacharacter in (1) the filename of a ZIP archive and possibly (2) the filename of the first file in a ZIP archive, which is not properly handled by zip.vim in the VIM ZIP plugin (zipPlugin.vim) v.11 through v.21, as demonstrated by the zipplugin and zipplugin.v2 test cases. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2712. NOTE: this issue has the same root cause as CVE-2008-3074. NOTE: due to the complexity of the associated disclosures and the incomplete information related to them, there may be inaccuracies in this CVE description and in external mappings to this identifier.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Manipulating User-Controlled Variables
    This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An attacker can override environment variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the attacker can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.

SL3 and SL4 Only: A heap-based overflow flaw was discovered in Vim's
expansion of file name patterns with shell wildcards. An attacker
could create a specially crafted file or directory name that, when
opened by Vim, caused the application to crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-3432)

SL5 Only: Multiple security flaws were found in netrw.vim, the Vim
plug-in providing file reading and writing over the network. If a user
opened a specially crafted file or directory with the netrw plug-in,
it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user running Vim.
(CVE-2008-3076)

SL5 Only: A security flaw was found in zip.vim, the Vim plug-in that
handles ZIP archive browsing. If a user opened a ZIP archive using the
zip.vim plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the
user running Vim. (CVE-2008-3075)

SL5 Only: A security flaw was found in tar.vim, the Vim plug-in which
handles TAR archive browsing. If a user opened a TAR archive using the
tar.vim plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the
user runnin Vim. (CVE-2008-3074)

Several input sanitization flaws were found in various Vim system
functions. If a user opened a specially crafted file, it was possible
to execute arbitrary code as the user running Vim. (CVE-2008-2712)

Ulf Härnhammar, of Secunia Research, discovered a format string
flaw in Vim's help tag processor. If a user was tricked into executing
the 'helptags' command on malicious data, arbitrary code could be
executed with the permissions of the user running Vim. (CVE-2007-2953)"

A flaw was found in how tar.vim handled TAR archive browsing. If a
user were to open a special TAR archive using the plugin, it could
result in the execution of arbitrary code as the user running vim
(CVE-2008-3074).

A flaw was found in how zip.vim handled ZIP archive browsing. If a
user were to open a special ZIP archive using the plugin, it could
result in the execution of arbitrary code as the user running vim
(CVE-2008-3075).

A number of security flaws were found in netrw.vim, the vim plugin
that provides the ability to read and write files over the network. If
a user opened a specially crafted file or directory with the netrw
plugin, it could result in the execution of arbitrary code as the user
running vim (CVE-2008-3076).

A number of input validation flaws were found in vim's keyword and tag
handling. If vim looked up a document's maliciously crafted tag or
keyword, it was possible to execute arbitary code as the user running
vim (CVE-2008-4101).

A vulnerability was found in certain versions of netrw.vim where it
would send FTP credentials stored for an FTP session to subsequent FTP
sessions to servers on different hosts, exposing FTP credentials to
remote hosts (CVE-2008-4677).

This update provides vim 7.2 (patchlevel 65) which corrects all of
these issues and introduces a number of new features and bug fixes.

The previous vim update incorrectly introduced a requirement on
libruby and also conflicted with a file from the git-core package (in

"Updated vim packages that fix security issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

Vim (Visual editor IMproved) is an updated and improved version of the
vi editor.

Several input sanitization flaws were found in Vim's keyword and tag
handling. If Vim looked up a document's maliciously crafted tag or
keyword, it was possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running
Vim. (CVE-2008-4101)

Multiple security flaws were found in netrw.vim, the Vim plug-in
providing file reading and writing over the network. If a user opened
a specially crafted file or directory with the netrw plug-in, it could
result in arbitrary code execution as the user running Vim.
(CVE-2008-3076)

A security flaw was found in zip.vim, the Vim plug-in that handles ZIP
archive browsing. If a user opened a ZIP archive using the zip.vim
plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user
running Vim. (CVE-2008-3075)

A security flaw was found in tar.vim, the Vim plug-in which handles
TAR archive browsing. If a user opened a TAR archive using the tar.vim
plug-in, it could result in arbitrary code execution as the user
runnin Vim. (CVE-2008-3074)

Several input sanitization flaws were found in various Vim system
functions. If a user opened a specially crafted file, it was possible
to execute arbitrary code as the user running Vim. (CVE-2008-2712)

Ulf Harnhammar, of Secunia Research, discovered a format string flaw
in Vim's help tag processor. If a user was tricked into executing the
'helptags' command on malicious data, arbitrary code could be executed
with the permissions of the user running Vim. (CVE-2007-2953)

All Vim users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues."

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been found in vim, an enhanced vi editor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-2712 Jan Minar discovered that vim did not properly sanitise inputs before invoking the execute or system functions inside vim scripts. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. - CVE-2008-3074 Jan Minar discovered that the tar plugin of vim did not properly sanitise the filenames in the tar archive or the name of the archive file itself, making it prone to arbitrary code execution. - CVE-2008-3075 Jan Minar discovered that the zip plugin of vim did not properly sanitise the filenames in the zip archive or the name of the archive file itself, making it prone to arbitrary code execution. - CVE-2008-3076 Jan Minar discovered that the netrw plugin of vim did not properly sanitise the filenames or directory names it is given. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. - CVE-2008-4101 Ben Schmidt discovered that vim did not properly escape characters when performing keyword or tag lookups. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
