Vim 7.0

I want to install VIM 7.0 from sunfreeware.com onto a server.

The security guys are giving me a hard time because they found this security vulnerability.

This vulnerability came out in 2001, and it looks like it was mostly for linux, but I cant be totally sure of that.

Does anyone have this installed on their servers? And does anyone know where I can find documentation that this vulnerability has been fixed?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this..

since the remedy to the problem is to upgrade to vim version > 5.7 how is this particular alert even an issue?
