The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains a heap-based buffer overflow that allows an attacker to overwrite two bytes at multiple offsets beyond the allocated buffer size: buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7438-1 advisory.

    Igor Pavlov discovered that 7-Zip had several memory-related issues. An attacker could possibly use these     issues to cause 7-Zip to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-52168, CVE-2023-52169)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains a heap-based buffer overflow     that allows an attacker to overwrite two bytes at multiple offsets beyond the allocated buffer size:
    buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc. (CVE-2023-52168)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote Windows host is below 24.01. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

    buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc. (CVE-2023-52168)

  - 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. (CVE-2023-52169)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-705 advisory.
