2019-06-28 19:27:07 Sebastien Bacher libarchive (Ubuntu): status New Fix Released
2019-06-28 19:29:19 Sebastien Bacher description The specific version included in Ubuntu 18.04 (libarchive 3.2.2) is the only version that presents the problem. This version has a known problem when reading file entries in ZIP files, where it incorrectly identifies directories and files entries. It has been confirmed that the previous and following versions (3.3.1+) do not have this problem and the library handles the ZIP files correctly. Is it possible to include a newer version of libarchive (3.3.1+) in Bionic? This problem is seriously affecting some of our systems. * Impact The bionic version has a known problem when reading file entries in ZIP files, where it incorrectly identifies directories and files entries. * Test case $ wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libarchive/+bug/1830629/+attachment/5268728/+files/example.zip $ bsdtar -vxf example.zip $ ls -l The 'ABCD_1234' and 'empty' entries should be directories * Regression potential Check that extracting zips from bsdtar or nautilus work without issue -------------------------------- It has been confirmed that the previous and following versions (3.3.1+) do not have this problem and the library handles the ZIP files correctly.
