Title:
fails to extract from zip files with latin1 encoding
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: file-roller
file roller fails to extract files from zip files if the file names
are encoded in latin1. the error message shown in the error dialog is:
caution: filename not matched: Sch\?ler/test.txt
to reproduce, do:
$ mkdir Schüler
$ convmv -f utf8 -t latin1 --notest Schüler
$ touch Sch*ler/test.txt
$ zip schueler.zip Sch*ler/test.txt
$ file-roller schueler.zip
and try to unpack the folder somewhere (using drag&drop). you get the
error message described above.
the file attached shows the problem and was created roughly as
described above.
it seems that the file name gets shell-escaped (as the problem doesn't
show up with file names containing literal question marks), then
passed through something that reduces unprintable characters to
question marks, and then again inserted in a shell command.
(standard note: using shell commands with untrusted data can be made
somewhat safe by using escaping, but (as this bug shows) escaping can
be erroneous. it is usually possible to get along without passing data
through shells just as well, which is much safer.)
