7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. 32-bit integer overflow in the SquashFS ReadBlock function allows an attacker-controlled node.Offset value to bypass the fragment bounds check, causing memcpy to read heap memory preceding the cache buffer into the extracted file. The vulnerability is exploitable only on 32-bit builds of 7-Zip where size_t is 32 bits, allowing the addition offsetInBlock + blockSize to wrap modulo 2³². On 64-bit builds the addition is promoted to 64 bits and the check correctly rejects the input. Version 26.01 patches the issue.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

    Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities were discovered in p7zip, a     now unmaintained fork of 7-Zip, which itself is a file archiver     handling multiple formats.

    To address these security vulnerabilities, whose fixes are     unfortunately not isolated, this update again replaces p7zip with a     recent 7-Zip (now v26.01), slightly modified to make it reasonably     compatible with p7zip.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2696-1 advisory.

    This update for 7zip fixes the following issues

    Update to 26.01:

    - CVE-2026-48092: Information disclosure in 32-bit builds due to heap memory disclosure (bsc#1267858).
    - CVE-2026-48095: Heap buffer overflow via NTFS compressed stream buffer under-allocation (bsc#1267421).
    - CVE-2026-48101: Information Disclosure via uninitialized memory in UEFI capsule parser (bsc#1267859).
    - CVE-2026-48102: Information disclosure and denial of service via crafted UDF image (bsc#1267860).
    - CVE-2026-48103: off-by-one heap out-of-bounds read (bsc#1267861).
    - CVE-2026-48104: Uninitialized heap read in SquashFS archive handler (bsc#1267862).
    - CVE-2026-48111: off-by-one out-of-bounds read in ParseDepedencyExpression function (bsc#1267863).
    - CVE-2026-48112: heap out-of-bounds read in BSD SYMDEF parser (bsc#1267864).

    Changes:

     * linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can      increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
     * new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for      the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory      path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path}      switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
     -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct      path to the output directory. The asterisk (*) character      in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
     -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path}      with the archive name to form the final path to the output      directory.
     -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path      specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name.
     This is the default option.
     * improved code for ZIP, CPIO, RAR, UFD, QCOW, Compound.
     * 7-Zip File Manager: improved sorting order of the file list.
     It uses file name as secondary sorting key.:
     * 7-Zip File Manager: improved Benchmark to support systems with more than      64 CPU threads.
     * bug fixed: 7-Zip could not correctly extract TAR archives containing sparse      files

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote Windows host is >= 9.18 and prior to 26.01. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a vulnerability:

  - An integer overflow in the SquashFS fragment offset handling can lead to a crash when processing a crafted     SquashFS archive. This vulnerability only affects 32-bit builds of 7-Zip. (CVE-2026-48092)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Additionally, Nessus cannot determine whether the installed build is 32-bit or 64-bit.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory     disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. 32-bit integer overflow in the     SquashFS ReadBlock function allows an attacker-controlled node.Offset value to bypass the fragment bounds     check, causing memcpy to read heap memory preceding the cache buffer into the extracted file. The     vulnerability is exploitable only on 32-bit builds of 7-Zip where size_t is 32 bits, allowing the addition     offsetInBlock + blockSize to wrap modulo 2. On 64-bit builds the addition is promoted to 64 bits and the     check correctly rejects the input. Version 26.01 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-48092)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
