- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : p7zip Version : 16.02+really26.01+dfsg-0+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2026-48092 CVE-2026-48095 CVE-2026-48101 CVE-2026-48102 CVE-2026-48103 CVE-2026-48104 CVE-2026-48111 CVE-2026-48112

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.
