CVE-2017-1000382 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-1000382): VIM version 8.0.1187 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask when creating a swap file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME].swp") resulting in files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not intended by the user running the vi binary. References: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/10/31/1 @ Maintainer(s): Please confirm which versions are vulnerable in the tree. Note: It seems no official patches have been released yet.
This amounts to user hardening and upstream is probably not going to address it as it would break things. Additionally, web servers should be hardened to combat such issues.
