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.

📢 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.

#7Zip #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.
