Corruption caused by unzip on openSUSE |
 |
Kira Backes has raised concern about the unzip package which ships in openSUSE, reporting that it consistently corrupts data during the unpacking process. Curiously, this bug appears to affect openSUSE versions of the unzip package, but may not affect unzip on other distributions. "Summary for the bug: When you extract a zip archive where the files do not have explicit permissions set, around one in 10,000 files gets (reproducibly) converted into a symlink! The former content of the file then gets converted into the link target. This bug is fixed in the Debian/Ubuntu version of unzip so my guess is that it's fixed by one of the missing CVE patches. Usually I wouldn't be this alarmist but the basic and standard unzip program reproducibly and consistently breaking files on all Tumbleweed as well all Leap installations is pretty important I guess." |
