Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nikolai Saoukh (nms) >Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: 2.3c1: zipfile.py confused by garbage at the very end of zip Initial Comment: Some zip files can contain garbage past the End of Central Directory. _EndRecData() treat it as comment, thus failing sanity check for comment length. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2006-12-22 13:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Originator: NO Under what circumstances do zip files have garbage appended to them? Are there buggy zipfile-generating programs out there, or does the garbage come from, say, an extra newline added when a zipfile is attached to an e-mail? The patch looks OK, but I'm nervous about adding code to silently ignore an incorrect zipfile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=774221&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
