7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.11 through 26.00 contain a heap out-of-bounds read of up to 3 bytes in the UDF disc image handler's File Identifier Descriptor parser. In CFileId::Parse (CPP/7zip/Archive/Udf/UdfIn.cpp), after validating size < 38 + idLen + impLen and advancing processed to 38 + impLen + idLen, the alignment-padding loop reads p[processed] while incrementing up to 3 times to reach a 4-byte boundary, and the processed <= size bounds check only runs after the loop. When (38 + impLen + idLen) % 4 != 0 and 38 + impLen + idLen == size, the loop reads 1 to 3 bytes past the end of the exact-size heap buffer allocated via buf.Alloc((size_t)item.Size). The UDF handler is registered for .iso and .udf files and auto-detected by signature, and the OOB read triggers during Open() when listing or extracting a crafted UDF image. Impact is limited to information disclosure (a 1-bit oracle per OOB byte via open/fail behavior) and denial of service (crash under hardened allocators); there is no write primitive. Version 26.01 fixes 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 >= 9.11 and prior to 26.01. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An out-of-bounds read exists in 7-Zip's UDF field handling, which can lead to a crash when processing a     crafted UDF image. (CVE-2026-48102)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in 7-Zip's extraction mode that can lead to arbitrary file write when     extracting a crafted archive. (GHSL-2026-115)

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

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 9.11 through 26.00 contain a heap out-of-     bounds read of up to 3 bytes in the UDF disc image handler's File Identifier Descriptor parser. In     CFileId::Parse (CPP/7zip/Archive/Udf/UdfIn.cpp), after validating size < 38 + idLen + impLen and advancing     processed to 38 + impLen + idLen, the alignment-padding loop reads p[processed] while incrementing up to 3     times to reach a 4-byte boundary, and the processed <= size bounds check only runs after the loop. When     (38 + impLen + idLen) % 4 != 0 and 38 + impLen + idLen == size, the loop reads 1 to 3 bytes past the end     of the exact-size heap buffer allocated via buf.Alloc((size_t)item.Size). The UDF handler is registered     for .iso and .udf files and auto-detected by signature, and the OOB read triggers during Open() when     listing or extracting a crafted UDF image. Impact is limited to information disclosure (a 1-bit oracle per     OOB byte via open/fail behavior) and denial of service (crash under hardened allocators); there is no     write primitive. Version 26.01 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-48102)

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