A vulnerability has been found in Vim and gVim concerning how certain modeline options are treated.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-editors/gvim | * | < 8.1.1486 | >= 8.1.1486 |
| app-editors/vim | * | < 8.1.1486 | >= 8.1.1486 |
Vim is an efficient, highly configurable improved version of the classic ‘vi’ text editor. gVim is the GUI version of Vim.
It was found that the :source! command was not restricted by the sandbox mode. If modeline was explicitly enabled, opening a specially crafted text file in vim could result in arbitrary command execution.
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file using Vim or gVim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Vim users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/vim-8.1.1486"

Vim is an efficient, highly configurable improved version of the classic ‘vi’ text editor. gVim is the GUI version of Vim.
Vim and gVim do not properly validate values for the ‘filetype’, ‘syntax’, and ‘keymap’ options.
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file using Vim/gVim with certain modeline options enabled possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
Disabling modeline support in .vimrc by adding “set nomodeline” will prevent exploitation of this flaw. By default, modeline is enabled for ordinary users but disabled for root.
All Vim users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/vim-8.0.0106"
All gVim users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/gvim-8.0.0106"
Several vulnerabilities related to the use of options in modelines have been found and fixed in Vim. They could potentially result in a local user escalating privileges.

Vim is an efficient, highly configurable improved version of the classic 'vi' text editor. gVim is the GUI version of Vim.
Gentoo's Vim maintainer, Ciaran McCreesh, found several vulnerabilities related to the use of options in Vim modelines. Options like 'termcap', 'printdevice', 'titleold', 'filetype', 'syntax', 'backupext', 'keymap', 'patchmode' or 'langmenu' could be abused.
A local attacker could write a malicious file in a world readable location which, when opened in a modeline-enabled Vim, could trigger arbitrary commands with the rights of the user opening the file, resulting in privilege escalation. Please note that modelines are disabled by default in the /etc/vimrc file provided in Gentoo.
There is no known workaround at this time.
