A vulnerability was identified in 7-Zip, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. This flaw is due to a stack overflow error when handling ARJ blocks larger than 2600 bytes, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to open a specially crafted ARJ file.
