@neatchee
If you read the write up, it sounds like the 7-Zip maintainers have not released a version yet with a patch. Current release is 24.09... watch for something newer.

@[email protected] CVE indicates 24.08 was the patched version

@neatchee That good to know. The original report from the group that found it said they were unaware of any patched version being released, but they had not heard from the maintainers yet. I usually check for an update once a month anyway.
