[Bug 1830629] Re: Errors when extracting ZIP files. It can not differentiate between files and directories

[Sebastien Bacher]

The commit seems reasonable for a SRU. Could you maybe add an
example/testcase to the bug that could be used for the SRU process? (we
need to be able to verify the problem and the solution)

Title:
  Errors when extracting ZIP files. It can not differentiate between
  files and directories

Status in libarchive package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The specific version included in Ubuntu 18.04 (libarchive 3.2.2) is
  the only version that presents the problem. This version has a known
  problem when reading file entries in ZIP files, where it incorrectly
  identifies directories and files entries.

  It has been confirmed that the previous and following versions
  (3.3.1+) do not have this problem and the library handles the ZIP
  files correctly.

  Is it possible to include a newer version of libarchive (3.3.1+) in
  Bionic?

  This problem is seriously affecting some of our systems.
