Remediation
Red Hat statement
All versions of Vim shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not affected, because vulnerable code is not present in our code-base. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having a Low security impact because the "victim" has to run an untrusted file IN SCRIPT MODE. Someone who is running untrusted files in script mode is equivalent to someone just taking a random python script and running it. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.
Red Hat mitigation
Untrusted vim scripts with -s [scriptin] are not recommended to run.
