You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Mathew Hodson (mathew-hodson):

In 7z, multiple security vulnerabilites were discovered, supposedly allowing "in some circumstances … arbitrary code execution": http://www.talosintel.com/reports/TALOS-2016-0093/
p7zip should be updated to include the fixes. Reportedly there is no new release of p7zip yet, so p7zip must be patched manually for now, the patches can be taken from 7zip: https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/discussion/383043/thread/9d0fb86b/

** Affects: p7zip (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Fix Released

** Affects: p7zip (Debian)
     Importance: Unknown
         Status: Unknown
