It would be useful to have an option to have the driverpacks 7z files already decompressed. Sometimes space isn't an issue (like having the SAD on a network share, or using DVD instead of CD) as it is speed of installing / updating drivers.

Thanks for this program.

Loud and clear wink

We'll have to make an exception on our software detector.

Thanks, anyway.

It has been submitted to the CVE less than a month ago, and thus it is still marked as "Candidate". Of course, each company has their own policies regarding security. Secunia, which IS a reliable source of information, has been faster to declare it as a vulnerability, which is normal being an smaller private company. CVE, being a bigger and more "formal" (it is funded by Homeland Security), probably will take a little more time to declare it as a vulnerability, or not declare it at all.
However, i just reported it because it is EASY to change, and even if 7-zip has a vulnerability or not, there will be less chance of bugs using a newer version, than a 2 year old version (just see the changelog to see the number  of bugfixes in the last 2 years).
And excuse me if i'm being rude, im not a native speaker and sometimes i express myself in an unpolite way.
Cheers.

There is more informations on the links in the page below:

The point is, it is a simple fix (no change to source code, just replacin the executables), and the more closed doors, the better. It probably isn't a serious vulnerability, and in the scope it is used in the program is almost imposible to reproduce. Just reporting, if you want you could upgrade it. We use a tool in our office that tells us when there's any software that has a vulnerability reported, and that's why I reported. I've already fixed it in my machine (replacing the exe and dll from 7 zip, but I thought it could help others with similar tools, and using your software.

Salutes!

The version of 7z you use has a known vulnerability.

Please upgrade your version to the latest one.

Great program, keep the good work!
