- Description:
- Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing.
It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that
many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is
perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing
configuration files.
FreeBSD has the following Vim packages:
* vim: Console-only Vim (vim binary) with all runtime files
* vim-gtk3, -gtk2, -motif: Console Vim plus a GUI (gvim binary)
* vim-x11: Console Vim only, with xclipboard support
* vim-tiny: Vim binary only, with no runtime files. Not useful for most people;
intended for minimal (ex. jail) installations

editors/vim: Update to 9.2.0073, multiple security fixes
While the minor has bumped, and much has changed from 9.1 to 9.2,
we've been incrementally adopting the patches so it's not "new" to us,
per se. All the gory details are at:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/version9.txt
This commit adds patches for six security issues:
patch 9.2.0073: [security]: possible command injection using netrw
Problem: [security]: Insufficient validation of hostname and port in
netrw URIs allows command injection via shell metacharacters
(ehdgks0627, un3xploitable).
Solution: Implement stricter RFC1123 hostname and IP validation.
Use shellescape() for the provided hostname and port.(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |
