{"id":"CVE-2008-3074","details":"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in external mappings to this identifier.","modified":"2026-01-27T04:08:48.734959Z","published":"2009-02-21T22:30:00Z","withdrawn":"2026-01-27T04:08:48.734959Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/34418"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2008:236"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.rdancer.org/vulnerablevim.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/07/4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467428"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506919"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2009-03/msg00004.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=121494431426308&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Advisories:rPSA-2008-0324"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/07/1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/08/12"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/10/7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/13/1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/07/15/4"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/08/01/1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/10/15/1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/10/20/2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.rdancer.org/vulnerablevim-shellescape.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2008-0580.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32462"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://oval.cisecurity.org/repository/search/definition/oval%3Aorg.mitre.oval%3Adef%3A10754"}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
