DJQuad Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Not the biggest deal from a security standpoint as it's very tricky to exploit, but to be safe everyone should update their version of 7-zip (7z) to at least version 16.0 and recompress all 7z files with the patched version. http://www.zdnet.com/article/severe-7-zip-vulnerabilities-cause-top-security-software-tools-patch-panic/ http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2016/05/12/7-zip-vulnerabilities/1 http://betanews.com/2016/05/16/7-zip-major-vulnerabilities/ This is one bad side effect from open source. When something is popular the bad guys pour through the code for ways to exploit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
