Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU63487
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1785
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in vim_regsub_both() function. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsvim (Red Hat package): 8.0.1763-11.el8_0 - 8.0.1763-16.el8_5.12
Red Hat Virtualization Host: 4

2) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU64506
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1897
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to Illegal memory access and leads to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the vim_regsub_both() function. A local attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, leading to a system crash or code execution.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

3) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU64508
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1927
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to Illegal memory access and leads to a buffer over-read vulnerability in the utf_ptr2char() function. A local attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger out-of-bounds read error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
