vim modeline vulnerability



Hi!

Accourding to http://www.guninski.com/vim1.html vim is vulnerable in
woody and sarge (I tried it myself on both).

ChangeLog of vim (1:6.1-266+1) in sid says:

+ 6.1.265: libcall() can be used in 'foldexpr' to call any system
  function. rename(), delete() and remote_send() can also be
  used in 'foldexpr'. These are security problems.

Will there be a security update of vim in woody?

Last discussion of this bug was in Jan 2003:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2003/debian-security-200301/msg00153.html

so long
Thomas
