Vulnerabilities > CVE-2008-4677 - Credentials Management vulnerability in VIM Netrw
Summary
autoload/netrw.vim (aka the Netrw Plugin) 109, 131, and other versions before 133k for Vim 7.1.266, other 7.1 versions, and 7.2 stores credentials for an FTP session, and sends those credentials when attempting to establish subsequent FTP sessions to servers on different hosts, which allows remote FTP servers to obtain sensitive information in opportunistic circumstances by logging usernames and passwords. NOTE: the upstream vendor disputes a vector involving different ports on the same host, stating "I'm assuming that they're using the same id and password on that unchanged hostname, deliberately."

If a user were to open a specially crafted file, it would be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running vim (CVE-2008-2712). Ulf Härnhammar of Secunia Research found a format string flaw in vim's help tags processor. If a user were tricked into executing the helptags command on malicious data, it could result in the execution of arbitrary code as the user running vim (CVE-2008-2953). 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.
