RHEL Packaging Agent 158f6c1c71 Fix CVE-2026-46483: command injection in vim tar plugin
Backport upstream commit 3fb5e58fbc63d86a3e65f1a141b0d67af2aa38a1
to fix a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-46483) in
the vim tar plugin. The fix changes shellescape(tartail) to
shellescape(tartail, 1) in two places in the tar#Vimuntar()
function in runtime/autoload/tar.vim, ensuring proper shell
escaping when executing external commands via :! commands.

The patch was manually adapted for vim 8.0, omitting the
src/version.c hunk and the Vim9-based test file which are not
compatible with this version.

CVE: CVE-2026-46483

 - 3fb5e58fbc.patch
Resolves: RHEL-178234
