33 Debian LTS Advisories fixing 216 CVEs for various packages were released by Debian LTS contributors in January 2026. These include notable security updates for python 3.9, django 2.2.28, php 7.4, apache2, ceph, Linux 6.1 kernel and more.

A study into the security status report of p7zip, which is unmaintained upstream, was also done last month in addition to updates contributed for recent releases of Debian 12, Debian 13 and to Debian unstable.

7‑Zip & WinRAR Tracker 🗜️🕵Jan 2

📢 PSA: Still using p7zip? It's time to move to the official 7‑Zip packages.

p7zip hasn't been maintained in years. Igor Pavlov now provides official *nix builds based on the current 7‑Zip codebase, with active development and real security updates.

For the latest features and proper security fixes, make sure you're using 7‑Zip, not p7zip.

If you're using #p7zip on your #Linux boxes, it's a fork that hasn't been updated since 2016.

Relatedly, it's time to ask some questions like why the author of upstream 7-Zip doesn't believe in source control and doesn't release matching source code for binaries, too.

Can #7z / #p7zip finally please implement STDOUT functionality for all options for which it makes sense, please?

I shouldn't need to use the filesystem (or a tmpfs) to extract a binary array from an archive.

If you have downloaded the 7z compressed file or whenever you want to extract a #7z compressed file, you need to have #p7zip and p7zip-full installed on your system.

When #gmrun tells you that you are not unique. Software bullying is real. 😢 But then #p7zip tells you that everything is ok, making it all better. 😊
