7-Zip severe security issues fixed

Some severe security issues with the open-source application 7-Zip have been identified and fixed. If you have 7-Zip installed (to, for example, handle Loop Loft distros with invalid filenames (on Windows) when WinZip pukes), I'd highly recommend upgrading to v16.0.

    I used Winzip for years. Last few years I have used nothing but 7zip. Great program that I am so glad someone fixed.
