Link: Compression tool 7-Zip pwned, pain flows to top security, software tools: The Register

 

Some of the world's biggest security and software vendors will be rushing to patch holes in implementations of the popular 7-zip compression tool to stop attackers gaining full control of customer machines.

 

Cisco security researcher Jaeson Schultz found and reported the holes to the maintainers of the open source 7-Zip platform who kindly cooked up a fix.

 

Schultz told The Register the flaws could allow attackers to compromise updated machines, giving attackers the same access rights as logged-in users...
