CVE-2026-480927-Zip SquashFS Fragment Offset Overflow (GHSL-2026-116)
Medium 4.3
In plain English
A medium-severity out-of-bounds read in 7-Zip from mcmilk. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 2.7% (higher than 86% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. 32-bit integer overflow in the SquashFS ReadBlock function allows an attacker-controlled node.Offset value to bypass the fragment bounds check, causing memcpy to read heap memory preceding the cache buffer into the extracted file. The vulnerability is exploitable only on 32-bit builds of 7-Zip where size_t is 32 bits, allowing the addition offsetInBlock + blockSize to wrap modulo 2³². On 64-bit builds the addition is promoted to 64 bits and the check correctly rejects the input. Version 26.01 patches the issue.
