    Several vulnerabilities have been found in vim, an enhanced vi editor.
    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
    following problems:

    CVE-2008-2712

    before invoking the execute or system functions inside vim
    scripts. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2008-3074

    Jan Minar discovered that the tar plugin of vim did not properly
    sanitise the filenames in the tar archive or the name of the
    archive file itself, making it prone to arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2008-3075

    Jan Minar discovered that the zip plugin of vim did not properly
    sanitise the filenames in the zip archive or the name of the
    archive file itself, making it prone to arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2008-3076

    Jan Minar discovered that the netrw plugin of vim did not properly
    sanitise the filenames or directory names it is given. This could
    lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2008-4101

    Ben Schmidt discovered that vim did not properly escape characters
    when performing keyword or tag lookups. This could lead to the
    execution of arbitrary code.
