It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1251 advisory.

    This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip.
    Interaction with this product is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary     depending on the implementation.The specific flaw exists within the handling of symbolic links in ZIP     files. Crafted data in a ZIP file can cause the process to traverse to unintended directories. An attacker     can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of a service account.

    NOTE: Since p7zip/16.02+transitional.1 src:p7zip is only a empty source packageNOTE: depending on 7zip.

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 host is prior to 25.00. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - 7-Zip ZIP File Parsing Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip. Interaction with this product is required to     exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation. The specific flaw exists     within the handling of symbolic links in ZIP files. Crafted data in a ZIP file can cause the process to traverse to     unintended directories. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of a service     account. (CVE-2025-11001, CVE-2025-11002)

  - An error in Z-zip's RAR5 handler's error correction   for corrupted items can lead to a buffer overflow,   resulting in memory corruption and denial of service.
  (CVE-2025-53816)

  - A Null pointer dereference in 7-Zip's implementation of   the Compound handler can lead to denial of service at   specific values. (CVE-2025-53817)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 ZIP File Parsing Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip. Interaction with this     product is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the     implementation. The specific flaw exists within the handling of symbolic links in ZIP files. Crafted data     in a ZIP file can cause the process to traverse to unintended directories. An attacker can leverage this     vulnerability to execute code in the context of a service account. Was ZDI-CAN-26743. (CVE-2025-11002)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4576 advisory.

    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.
