SCO Security Advisory
Subject: OpenLinux: vim arbitrary commands execution through
modelines
Advisory number: CSSA-2004-015.0
Issue date: 2004 March 30
Cross reference: sr889557 fz528946 erg712560 CAN-2002-1377
1. Problem Description
vim 6.0 and 6.1, and possibly other versions, allows
attackers to execute arbitrary commands using the libcall feature
in modelines, which are not sandboxed but may be executed when vim
is used as an editor for other products such as mutt.The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CAN-2002-1377 to this issue.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
| System | Package |
| OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server | prior to vim-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-X11-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-help-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-i18n-6.2-1.i386.rpm |
| OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation | prior to vim-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-X11-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-help-6.2-1.i386.rpm prior to vim-i18n-6.2-1.i386.rpm |
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages.
Unix users with Linux Kernel Personality can use the Caldera System
Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to
update these packages rather than downloading and installing them
by hand.

CAN-2004-0080
1. Problem Description
The login program in util-linux 2.11 and earlier uses a
pointer after it has been freed and reallocated, which could cause
login to leak sensitive data.The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0080 to this issue.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
