NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 7zip package and not the 7zip package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. 32-bit integer overflow in the SquashFS ReadBlock function allows an attacker-controlled node.Offset value to bypass the fragment bounds check, causing memcpy to read heap memory preceding the cache buffer into the extracted file. The vulnerability is exploitable only on 32-bit builds of 7-Zip where size_t is 32 bits, allowing the addition offsetInBlock + blockSize to wrap modulo 2³². On 64-bit builds the addition is promoted to 64 bits and the check correctly rejects the input. Version 26.01 patches the issue.
