If you use, you can and should download v18.05 of the popular 7-Zip file archiver. The free to use WinZip replacement has a very critical vulnerability for which all it needed was a specially prepped RAR file. 

This has been addressed with the release of has been fixed with v18.05, I am highlighting this new v18.05 release this much as this is a pretty bad one as it allows remote execution, based on just a RAR file. The security researcher (landave.io) who discovered the vulnerability informed the developer of 7-Zip on the 6th of March this year. it has patched with the release of 7-Zip 18.05, which not only fixes the vulnerability but also adds ASLR security measures.

7-Zip is one of the most popular archivers available on the web, downloaded nearly 450 million times from Sourceforge alone. All users of 7-Zip are advised to update the software to the latest version, I've made a local mirror on Guru3D, which can be downloaded from here.
