Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59856)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control of code generation in runtime/autoload/phpcomplete.vim when processing a crafted PHP file during omni-completion. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a crafted file and invoking omni-completion to execute arbitrary code.
User interaction is required to open a crafted PHP file and manually invoke omni-completion, and exploitation requires filetype plugins to be enabled.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59857)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in the SAL sound-folding logic in spell_soundfold_sal() when processing a boundary-length word through soundfold() with a SAL-based spell language active. A local user can supply a crafted boundary-length word to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerable path is only reached under a non-multibyte 8-bit encoding such as latin1, and spell checking must be enabled with a SAL-based language.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59858)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in the C omni-completion script in runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim when processing type information from a tags entry during omni-completion. A local user can supply a crafted tags entry and trick the victim into invoking C omni-completion on a hostile .c file to execute arbitrary code.
User interaction is required to open a hostile .c file and invoke omni-completion on a structure-member access, and the issue is reachable only when filetype plugins are enabled and a reachable tags file is used.
