Subject: Re: Vim CVE issues cleanup (plugins tar.vim, zip.vim)
 - CVE-2008-3074 and CVE-2008-3075


OK all, I'm finally imlementing some of the nasty, nasty cleanup of the
Vim issues.  I am treating Jan Lieskovsky's analysis as the most
authoritative, so I am hopefully following his recommendations.

This first email shows how CVE-2008-3074, CVE-2008-3075, and CVE-2008-3076
have been written up.  Jan, given how messy the whole thing is, I decided
that it was OK to keep CVE-2008-3074 and CVE-2008-3075 as separate, even
though they would have been merged if we had perfect, stable information
when this whole thing started.

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.
