This issue affects does not affect the versions of Vim package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3 and 4. This issue affects the versions of the Vim package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Fedora releases 8 and 9 (only Vim 7.0 and 7.1 affected). This issue does not affect the version of the Vim package, as shipped in Fedora rawhide release (already fixed in Vim 7.2). This issue was addressed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0580.html Fedora (updated to upstream 7.2.060): https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-10587 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2008-10644 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-3074 to the following vulnerability: The shellescape function in Vim 7.0 through 7.2, including 7.2a.10, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "!" (exclamation point) shell metacharacter in (1) the filename of a tar archive and possibly (2) the filename of the first file in a tar archive, which is not properly handled by the VIM TAR plugin (tar.vim) v.10 through v.22, as demonstrated by the shellescape, tarplugin.v2, tarplugin, and tarplugin.updated test cases. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2712. NOTE: this issue has the same root cause as CVE-2008-3075. NOTE: due to the complexity of the associated disclosures and the incomplete information related to them, there may be inaccuracies in this CVE description and in external mappings to this identifier.
