WinZip Computing warned last month of a flaw in WinZip, its tool for compressing and decompressing files that runs on the Windows operating system. WinZip versions 3.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x and 9.x contain vulnerabilities that could allow a remote attacker to execute malicious code and cause a buffer overflow.
