Description of problem:
Jan Minar has reported the following problem present in Vim shellescape() function implementation and demonstrated by testcases in tar.vim plugin:
The implementation of the shellescape() function does not properly escape all special items, in particular the '!' character). This can result in untrusted data being insufficiently sanitized and possibly lead to arbitrary code execution.
To show this vulnerability can be exploited, the tar.vim plugin test cases has been updated (tarplugin, tarplugin.v2 and tarplugin.updated test cases).
CVE-2008-3074 has been pre-assigned and used in rPath advisory:

CVE-2008-2712 bullet (2)
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2712
mentions zipplugin based on same advisory as ZIP-1. According to ZIP-2 and ZIP-4 the zip.vim / zipplugin.vim has not been fixed as of Vim 7.2a.19/zip.vim v19, so the bullet (2) -- mention about zipplugin should be removed from CVE-2008-2712.
autoload/netrw.vim (aka the Netrw Plugin) 109, 131, and other versions before 133k for Vim 7.1.266, other 7.1 versions, and 7.2 stores credentials for an FTP session, and sends those credentials when attempting to establish subsequent FTP sessions to servers on different hosts, which allows remote FTP servers to obtain sensitive information in opportunistic circumstances by logging usernames and passwords. NOTE: the upstream vendor disputes a vector involving different ports on the same host, stating "I'm assuming that they're using the same id and password on that unchanged hostname, deliberately."
