The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-016514 advisory.

    Vim is an open source command line text editor. Vim < v9.1.0647 has double free in src/alloc.c:616. When     closing a window, the corresponding tagstack data will be cleared and freed. However a bit later, the     quickfix list belonging to that window will also be cleared and if that quickfix list points to the same     tagstack data, Vim will try to free it again, resulting in a double-free/use-after-free access exception.
    Impact is low since the user must intentionally execute vim with several non-default flags,     but it may cause a crash of Vim. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0647

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the vim package has been released.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 15.x prior to the full release of 15.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - This issue was addressed with improved validation of file attributes. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia     15. An app may be able to break out of its sandbox. (CVE-2024-44148)

  - Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted PPD PostScript document, CUPS and     libppd are susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow and possibly code execution. This issue has been     fixed in CUPS version 2.4.7, released in September of 2023. (CVE-2023-4504)

  - Due to a failure in validating the number of scanline samples of a OpenEXR file containing deep scanline     data, Academy Software Foundation OpenEX image parsing library version 3.2.1 and prior is susceptible to a     heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue was resolved as of versions v3.2.2 and v3.1.12 of the     affected library. (CVE-2023-5841)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15. An app may     be able to cause a denial-of-service. (CVE-2024-23237)

  - A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15. A     camera extension may be able to access the internet. (CVE-2024-27795)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778259521 advisory.

  - NULL Pointer Dereference in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0552. (CVE-2022-3278)

  - Floating Point Comparison with Incorrect Operator in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.0804.
    (CVE-2022-4293)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed     window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue     has been addressed in commit `25aabc2b` which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are     advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48231)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When getting the count for a normal mode z command, it may     overflow for large counts given. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a crash may not even     happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `58f9befca1` which has been included in     release version 9.0.2109. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this     vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48234)

  - Vim is an open source command line text editor. When parsing relative ex addresses one may unintentionally     cause an overflow. Ironically this happens in the existing overflow check, because the line number becomes     negative and LONG_MAX - lnum will cause the overflow. Impact is low, user interaction is required and a     crash may not even happen in all situations. This issue has been addressed in commit `060623e` which has     been included in release version 9.0.2110. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds     for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48235)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

    Security fixes for CVE-2024-41965, CVE-2024-41957



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its version, the version of Vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.1.0647. It is, therefore affected by a use-after-free vulnerability. When closing a window, the corresponding tagstack data will be cleared and freed. However a bit later, the quickfix list belonging to that window will also be cleared and if that quickfix list points to the same tagstack data, Vim will try to free it again, resulting in a double-free/use-after-free access exception.

    Vim is an open source command line text editor. double-free in dialog_changed() in Vim  v9.1.0648. When     abandoning a buffer, Vim may ask the user what to do with the modified buffer. If the user wants the     changed buffer to be saved, Vim may create a new Untitled file, if the buffer did not have a name yet.
    However, when setting the buffer name to Unnamed, Vim will falsely free a pointer twice, leading to a     double-free and possibly later to a heap-use-after-free, which can lead to a crash. The issue has been     fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0648.(CVE-2024-41965)

    The UNIX editor Vim prior to version 9.1.0678 has a use-after-free error in argument list handling. When     adding a new file to the argument list, this triggers `Buf*` autocommands. If in such an autocommand the     buffer that was just opened is closed (including the window where it is shown), this causes the window     structure to be freed which contains a reference to the argument list that we are actually modifying. Once     the autocommands are completed, the references to the window and argument list are no longer valid and as     such cause an use-after-free. Impact is low since the user must either intentionally add some unusual     autocommands that wipe a buffer during creation (either manually or by sourcing a malicious plugin), but     it will crash Vim. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0678. (CVE-2024-43374)

    Vim is an improved version of the unix vi text editor. When flushing the typeahead buffer, Vim moves the     current position in the typeahead buffer but does not check whether there is enough space left in the     buffer to handle the next characters.  So this may lead to the tb_off position within the typebuf variable     to point outside of the valid buffer size, which can then later lead to a heap-buffer overflow in e.g.
    ins_typebuf(). Therefore, when flushing the typeahead buffer, check if there is enough space left before     advancing the off position. If not, fall back to flush current typebuf contents. It's not quite clear yet,     what can lead to this situation. It seems to happen when error messages occur (which will cause Vim to     flush the typeahead buffer) in comnination with several long mappgins and so it may eventually move the     off position out of a valid buffer size. Impact is low since it is not easily reproducible and requires to     have several mappings active and run into some error condition. But when this happens, this will cause a     crash. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0697. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no     known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2024-43802)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A use-after-free was found in Vim < 9.1.0764. When     closing a buffer (visible in a window) a BufWinLeave auto command can cause an use-after-free if this auto     command happens to re-open the same buffer in a new split window. Impact is low since the user must have     intentionally set up such a strange auto command and run some buffer unload commands. However this may     lead to a crash. This issue has been addressed in version 9.1.0764 and all users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-47814)
