Package: zipios++ Version: 0.1.5.9+cvs.2004.02.07-3.4 Severity: important
If ZipInputStream is constructed with an invalid stream (e.g. an empty stream), the constructor enters an infinite loop, making any application that uses the library in this way consume 100% CPU. This happens because the constructor ultimately calls the readUint16 method found in zipheadio.h, which doesn't check the stream for EOF or other reading errors in a reading loop. Since the behavior I expected was that the constructor threw an exception, I propose patching the library, making it throw an exception on stream reading errors. The proposed change is attached as a diff. -- Fernando Diaz Alonso Ingeniero Civil Electronico PUCV
