PeaZip is pretty good and is FOSS

It seems to use 7-Zip and/or p7zip binaries.

p7zip was also patched. 18.00 doesn't have the bug, but it looks like Peazip hasn't been updated with it.

I'm not sure what other FOSS alternative to use. BandiZip is free (as in beer) but doesn't seem to have an update since Sept, so if it uses p7zip under the hood for 7z, it's also vulnerable.
