Norbert Tretkowski uploaded new packages for vim which fixed the following security problems: CVE-2008-4101, Debian Bug #500381 Vim 3.0 through 7.x before 7.2.010 does not properly escape characters, which allows user-assisted attackers to (1) execute arbitrary shell commands by entering a K keystroke on a line that contains a ";" (semicolon) followed by a command, or execute arbitrary Ex commands by entering an argument after a (2) "Ctrl-]" (control close-square-bracket) or (3) "g]" (g close-square-bracket) keystroke sequence, a different issue than CVE-2008-2712. For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in version 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2~bpo40+2. For the lenny distribution the problems have been fixed in version 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2. For the sid distribution the problems have been fixed in version 2:7.2.049-1. Upgrade instructions -------------------- If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update. [1] <http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions> We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions of installed backports will be installed automatically: Package: * Pin: release a=etch-backports Pin-Priority: 200
