"A null pointer dereference bug affects the 16.02 and many old versions of p7zip. A lack of null pointer check for the variable folders.PackPositions in function CInArchive::ReadAndDecodePackedStreams in CPP/7zip/Archive/7z/7zIn.cpp, as used in the 7z.so library and in 7z applications, will cause a crash and a denial of service when decoding malformed 7z files."

@maintainer(s), 16.02-r1 is already in tree. call for stable if needed. Note the discussion in $url, patch may be unofficial.

p7zip-16.02-r3 fixes it, I'd like to stablize whatever includes CVE-2018-10115 though
