CVE-2017-17087
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
fileio.c en Vim en versiones anteriores a la 8.0.1263 establece la propiedad de grupo de un archivo .swp en el grupo primario del editor (que puede ser diferente de la propiedad de grupo del archivo original), lo que permite a los usuarios locales obtener información sensible aprovechando una membresía de grupo aplicable, tal y como lo demuestra el hecho de que /etc/shadow es propiedad de root:shadow mode 0640, pero /etc/.shadow.swp es propiedad de root:users mode 0640. Esta es una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2017-1000382.
