Package: ziptorrent Version: 0.11.2-1.2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Using ziptorrent to normalize the output of git-archive results in a crash. This may have security implications about ziptorrent's handling of data, but seems difficult to exploit. Steps to reproduce: $ mkdir test $ cd test $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/lucca/test/.git/ $ date > foo $ git add foo $ git commit -m 'adding foo' [master (root-commit) a453c76] adding foo 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 foo $ git archive --output ../test.zip --prefix=test/ HEAD $ ziptorrent ../test.zip *** Error in `ziptorrent': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000000a35840 *** Aborted Apparently git-archive adds some additional comment metadata to the zip that ziptorrent does not like. Re-compressing the zip manually before ziptorrenting works. Using ziptorrent as a general-purpose zip normalizer is useful for non-torrent situations like rsync of release archives of git-controlled datasets. -- Emily Backes lu...@accela.net -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ziptorrent depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libzip2 0.11.2-1.2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 ziptorrent recommends no packages. ziptorrent suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
