@neatchee Sadly an all too accurate statement.

Luckily the version of 7-Zip with the fix was back in August, so I'm guessing this CVE has been well known across most things. Each of my Linux systems were probably ok by the time I installed the current versions even (let alone updates.)

I did need to update the Windows partition though. Haven't booted it in ages, much less updated 7-Zip...
