Description	7-Zip SquashFS File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip.

The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer.
