Summary

Heap-based buffer overflow in the mch_expand_wildcards function in os_unix.c in Vim 6.2 and 6.3 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in filenames, as demonstrated by the netrw.v3 test case.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

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

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)

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)

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."
