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

    To address these security vulnerabilities, whose fixes are     unfortunately not isolated, this update replaces p7zip with 7-Zip v25     (which now supports GNU/Linux natively), slightly modified to make it     reasonably compatible with p7zip.

    CVE-2022-47069

        heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability via the function         NArchive::NZip::CInArchive::FindCd

    CVE-2023-31102

        Ppmd7.c allows an integer underflow and invalid read operation via         a crafted 7Z archive.

    CVE-2023-40481

        SquashFS File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write RCE

    CVE-2023-52168

        heap-based buffer overflow in NTFS handler

    CVE-2023-52169

        out-of-bounds read in NTFS handler

    CVE-2024-11612

        CopyCoder Infinite Loop Denial-of-Service

    CVE-2025-11001

        ZIP File Parsing Directory Traversal RCE

    CVE-2025-11002

        ZIP File Parsing Directory Traversal RCE

    CVE-2025-53817

        null pointer dereference in the Compound handler may lead to         denial of service

    CVE-2025-55188

        does not always properly handle symbolic links

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     16.02+really25.01+dfsg-0+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your p7zip packages.

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-705 advisory.

    The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains a heap-based buffer overflow     that allows an attacker to overwrite two bytes at multiple offsets beyond the allocated buffer size:
    buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc. (CVE-2023-52168)

    The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains an out-of-bounds read that     allows an attacker to read beyond the intended buffer. The bytes read beyond the intended buffer are     presented as a part of a filename listed in the file system image. This has security relevance in some     known web-service use cases where untrusted users can upload files and have them extracted by a server-     side 7-Zip process. (CVE-2023-52169)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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 below 24.01. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains a heap-based buffer overflow     that allows an attacker to overwrite two bytes at multiple offsets beyond the allocated buffer size:
    buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc. (CVE-2023-52168)

  - The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains an out-of-bounds read that     allows an attacker to read beyond the intended buffer. The bytes read beyond the intended buffer are     presented as a part of a filename listed in the file system image. This has security relevance in some     known web-service use cases where untrusted users can upload files and have them extracted by a     server-side 7-Zip process. (CVE-2023-52169)

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.

  - The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains an out-of-bounds read that     allows an attacker to read beyond the intended buffer. The bytes read beyond the intended buffer are     presented as a part of a filename listed in the file system image. This has security relevance in some     known web-service use cases where untrusted users can upload files and have them extracted by a server-     side 7-Zip process. (CVE-2023-52169)

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