Comment 1 David Walser 2016-12-01 02:08:02 CET
Already fixed in p7zip-16.02-2.mga6 in Cauldron by David (we didn't file a bug for it).  He provided these references in the commit message:
  * https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/bugs/185/
  * https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-9296

He indicated to me at the time that the version in Mageia 5 was not affected, and looking at the code myself now, that appears to be the case.  Please re-open if you have definitive information that it is affected.

We hadn't filed a bug for this one, so thanks anyway for the report.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Version: 5 => Cauldron
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
