Dear openSUSE factory maintainers,
I already created a comment on OBS in the Archiving:unzip package ( https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Archiving/unzip), which I guess is the base for factory:unzip.
But ... I'm writing here again because I can't even begin to imagine how many systems this bug has hit. How many installations were broken by this. How many deployment pipelines (like in our case) or manual app installations (like in our case) were broken again and again by this unzip bug.
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.
kind regards, Kira Backes
Hello Kira!

Do you have a reproducer for this bug, i.e. a sample ZIP archive which demonstrates the bug?
Thanks, Adrian
Hello Adrian,
Do you have a reproducer for this bug, i.e. a sample ZIP archive which demonstrates the bug?
yes, you can for example download the latest zipped commit from shopware/platform:
https://github.com/shopware/platform/archive/dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcf...
When you unzip it with openSUSE's unzip in bash the file
platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add/src/Storefront/Resources/app/storefront/dist/assets/icon/default/editor-redo.svg
gets erroneously converted into a symlink.
It was reproducible with the same file on Leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed and two different AMD CPUs, so I guess the same file should become a symlink for you.
In the zip file are only two real symlinks:
platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add/bin/console -> shopware
platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add/easy-coding-standard.php -> ecs.php
So any other file becoming a symlink is caused by this bug.
This bug happens with nearly every zipped commit (because it has enough files) so you could for example just take an older commit:
https://github.com/shopware/platform/archive/5c5f5d9b0d502dc104eee89456d1b0b...
and when you unzip it files get converted to symlinks again
In the last zip the file which gets converted into a symlink is:
platform-5c5f5d9b0d502dc104eee89456d1b0b766a1cac2/src/Storefront/Resources/app/storefront/dist/assets/icon/default/editor-undo 2.svg
kind regards, Kira

Please file a bug report at bugzilla.opensuse.org with this information, that will mean it will likely reach the maintainers quicker.
Thanks

I can reproduce this issue.
Here is my result on openSUSE Tumbleweed:
glaubitz@suse-laptop:/tmp/platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add> find . -type l ./bin/console ./src/Storefront/Resources/app/storefront/dist/assets/icon/default/editor-redo.svg ./easy-coding-standard.php glaubitz@suse-laptop:/tmp/platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add>
and here on Debian Bullseye:
glaubitz@z6:/tmp/platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add> find . -type l ./easy-coding-standard.php ./bin/console glaubitz@z6:/tmp/platform-dd2bf30d0519dcd9416dc269c88edcfd66f92add>
Looking through the changelog of the Debian package [1], it seems we're talking about this bug [2] which is fixed by this patch [3] by Andreas Schwab. I don't see this patch in the openSUSE package [4].

You could also write a very tiny (and memory safe) go program if you need only a decompressor like : https://github.com/artdarek/go-unzip

You could also write a very tiny (and memory safe) go program if you need only a decompressor like : https://github.com/artdarek/go-unzip This is specially advisable if you are dealing with untrusted data.

Well, ZIP archives exist in the wild as in this example from Github, so it's not really an option to just ignore this bug.

This bug came up because composer (yes, the practically officially PHP package manager) uses unzip when it's available!
You can imagine the havoc this bug caused on our dev environments when random PHP files were kind-of deleted randomly on different shopware versions...

huh...remember to install php-zip then ..or is it still buggy ?

Composer officially prefers unzip when it’s installed:
