PcHelpWare and 7-zip vulnerability

[poutnik]

PCHW instalation contains 7z.exe.

There is a vulnerability report about 7-zip prior to 4.57 version.

Secunia PSI founded 3 location of old vulnerable 7z.exe in pchw folders.
When I inspected original name, It was, as I had expected, 7za.exe, i.e. standalone 7z version. Not sure, if 7za is vulnerable too, but I am expecting it is.

Funny is , when trying to replace by one from my 7zip 4,57 instalation,
there is surprisingly no 7za.exe ( always was there ).

Do you consider releasing new PCHW version ?

Well, one can download 7za.exe from 7zip site dowload page<, rename it to 7z.exe and put it there.

Or, copy there 7z.exe from 7-zip folder, should be ok.

Or, replace in PCHW related batch files 7z.exe by pathname of you genuine 7z.exe in 7-zip folder.
