Description
7-Zip before 26.06 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the LZX decoder that lets attackers corrupt memory when a continuation CAB volume declares a smaller window. Attackers can entice victims to extract crafted multi-volume CAB archives, where a stale _pos value bypasses bounds checks, enabling arbitrary code execution.
