Description Josh Bressers 2005-07-26 15:32:34 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #164279 +++

A bug was found in vim which can allow a malicious modeline to execute arbitrary
code.

The initial discovery is here:
http://www.guninski.com/where_do_you_want_billg_to_go_today_5.html

The fix for this issue seems to span two patchsets (the second fixes what the
first misses)
