In today’s newsletter, we’re learning that 7zip, one of many programs to zip and unzip files, needs to be updated. Here’s the web site to 7zip.
The article talks about how someone can trick the program to do something that you are not expecting it to do, similar to how Microsoft Word has the ability to protect you from opening macros on files you get off the Internet unless you explicit trust it.
I’ll let the article speak for itself, it is titled 7-Zip bug could allow a bypass of a Windows security feature. Update now if you use this program.
I see I’m running some sort of beta, so I definitely need to go to the web site and see what I can do to get myself updated.
Thanks for reading!
