Andreas Schawo <andreas.sch...@gmail.com> added the comment: As I understand actually the zipfile module possibly creates damaged zip files after version 2.4 because of '\x00\x00\x00\x00' instead of '\xff\xff\xff\xff' as header offset. But without any error.
I think the _struct.c should be cleaned in any case. Because we only get errors in zipfile module when damaged zip files are created. An error would be appriciated instead of a silenty damaged zip file. But, why don't boundary check the header offset in zipfile module in a short private function and returning '\xff\xff\xff\xff' in case of overflow? Maybe all longs should be boundary checked if this seems necassery. ---------- nosy: +andreas.schawo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
