Hi!

Georgi Guninski found another modeline vuln in vim:

I already asked for a CAN number, I'll forward it when I get one.

You can get the Ubuntu debdiff from

  http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/vim.code-modelines.diff

for fixing sarge and possibly woody. For unstable, you should probably
just upgrade to the latest upstream version.

Thanks,

Martin
