        Immunix OS Security Advisory

Packages updated:       vim
Affected products:      Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs Fixed:             immunix/1521
Date:                   March 28, 2001

Author:                 Greg Kroah-Hartman 

Description:

An attacker could embed malicious VIM control codes into a file, and as soon as any user opened that file in vim-enhanced or vim-X11 with the status line option enabled in .vimrc, the commands would be executed as that user. For more information on this see
