Big Vulnerability hits 7-Zip file archiver - gets patched - Download v18.05
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.

I agree with you with notifications, for any standard user this would be optimal and saves me a lot of work at friends or family.
I understand that but a notification prompting user to go to the website and download the new version is the bare minimum for security. This is bad.
