Synopsis

A compression utility installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote Windows host is below 23.00. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in 7-zip due to an integer underflow. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted archive, to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2023-31102)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in 7-zip due to an out-of-bounds write. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted archive, to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2023-40481)

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

Solution

Upgrade to 7-Zip version 23.00 or later.
