CVE-2008-3294

no score yetEPSS 4.5%

src/configure.in in Vim 5.0 through 7.1, when used for a build with Python support, does not ensure that the Makefile-conf temporary file has the intended ownership and permissions, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying this file during a time window, or by creating it ahead of time with permissions that prevent its modification by configure.

EPSS: 4.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days; higher than 91% of CVEs (scores of 2026-10-31)
