Debian 11.2: 2022-378-01 Urgent: OpenSSL Vulnerability Patching

slackware
Calendar Grey September 26, 2022
Dist Slackware Esm H88
A critical buffer overflow vulnerability in Vim for Slackware 15.0 requires urgent updates. Upgrade to the latest version to ensure system security and data integrity
New vim packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/vim-9.0.0594-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Fixed stack-based buffer overflow. Thanks to marav for the heads-up. In addition, Mig21 pointed out an issue where the defaults.vim file might need to be edited for some purposes as its contents will override the settings in the system-wide vimrc. Usually this file is replaced whenever vim is upgraded, which in those situations would be inconvenient for the admin. So, I've added support for a file named defaults.vim.custom which (if it exists) will be used instead of the defaults.vim file shipped in the packages and will persist through upgrades. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-3296 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/vim-gvim-9.0.0594-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
