548.2 KB file is giving infinite size text file output while exracting rar file

[Lakshmipathi B]

My friend sent me a RAR file of size 548.2 KB and when I am trying to extract the file[Right Click on the RAR file, It shows options like Cut,Copy,Move,Extract Here. I selected extract here option] it's not getting stopped. So I stopped after 1 minute and I found a text file shown up on the desktop, When I check it's size it showing 54GB. I got panicked. Like how a 548 kB file contains that much size file, So I again tried extracting and it became 80GB after 1 min replacing the previous file. So It's becoming bigger and bigger while doing the extraction. Then I used an online RAR extractor, Now I got a 1MB file. So I concluded that there might be a bug in the archive extractor. I am giving the link to the file which I tried to extract https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x3lusZTx_Wr3r2VpkNWrsw_jNnZzsnU-/view?usp=sharing and I am attaching the file to this report too.
