Hi,

Please see this advisory:  http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2005-3051

This attack can be launched remotely by sending specially crafted data in 
archived file.

Which security solutions are expected to catch these kinds of attacks? It seems 
that NIPS/NIDS solution typically check for buffer overflow attacks at protocol 
level, but not at the file/archive level.  If so, is it fair to assume that 
only security solutions running, on the client machine, catch these kjinds of 
attacks. Any insight is appreciated.

also, isn't this old? very old? current 7zip version is 4.44, well past the 4.27Beta of this one 2 years ago.
