CVE-2023-52169  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 7zip to version 22.01+dfsg-8+deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 7zip package and not the 7zip package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
