patch 9.0.1833: [security] runtime file fixes
Problem: runtime files may execute code in current dir
Solution: only execute, if not run from current directory
The perl, zig and ruby filetype plugins and the zip and gzip autoload
plugins may try to load malicious executable files from the current
working directory. This is especially a problem on windows, where the
current directory is implicitly in your $PATH and windows may even run a
file with the extension `.bat` because of $PATHEXT.
So make sure that we are not trying to execute a file from the current
directory. If this would be the case, error out (for the zip and gzip)
plugins or silently do not run those commands (for the ftplugins).
This assumes, that only the current working directory is bad. For all
other directories, it is assumed that those directories were
intentionally set to the $PATH by the user.

README_ami.txt for version 9.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved. This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems. See README.txt for general information about Vim. Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them. It is wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you change. The distributed files go into a subdirectory. This way you can easily upgrade to a new version. For example: dh0:editors/vim contains your vimrc and modified files dh0:editors/vim/vim54 contains the Vim version 5.4 distributed files dh0:editors/vim/vim55 contains the Vim version 5.5 distributed files You would then unpack the archives like this: cd dh0:editors tar xf t:vim90bin.tar tar xf t:vim90rt.tar Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim files. For the above example: set VIM=dh0:editors/vim Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime files in $VIM/vim54. See ":help $VIM" for more information. Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path. Either copy the Vim executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is.
