This was first found over in Twisted tests. We probably aren't too terribly worried about it but I wanted to report here anyways.

https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9525

Both 3.6 and 3.7 write the same file (sha at the end) based on the script in the first snippet. 3.6 can read both files, 3.7 can't read either.

Hope this helps.

I am adding Serhiy who might have a better explanation. @Serhiy Feel free to unassign yourself if this is irrelevant.

The value of the extra attribute is not an arbitrary bytes object. It is a sequence of blocks in the following format: 16-bit identifier followed by 16-bit size of the block followed by the specified amount of bytes. Your example creates invalid ZIP file.

[c1dfce53-4c86-41aa-8be2-81288cc14748]

Turns out the docs do document this. My apologies.

https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT

4.3.11 Archive extra data record:

    archive extra data signature    4 bytes  (0x08064b50)
    extra field length              4 bytes
    extra field data                (variable size)

Aside from the discrepancy between 16-bits and 4 bytes, it seems like something should happen, even if it's something other than 'fixing' the code to handle the malformed data. Isn't it a bug for zipfile to create a non-compliant file? Shouldn't it either check or provide an interface by which a compliant file could sensibly be created? It doesn't seem great to just expect users to rewrite this each time they call.

(42).to_bytes(4, 'little') + len(data).to_bytes(4, 'little') + data

or, should it be 'big'? and would it be (len(data) + 4 + 4)?

[c1dfce53-4c86-41aa-8be2-81288cc14748]

Python 3.7 works with 2-byte elements, I managed to find the wrong section in the doc-linked docs.

4.5 Extensible data fields --------------------------

   4.5.1 In order to allow different programs and different types
   of information to be stored in the 'extra' field in .ZIP
   files, the following structure MUST be used for all
   programs storing data in this field:

       header1+data1 + header2+data2 . . .

   Each header should consist of:

       Header ID - 2 bytes
       Data Size - 2 bytes

   Note: all fields stored in Intel low-byte/high-byte order.

And the test showing it working.

Right, the correct section is 4.5. All integers in ZIP files are unsigned and in the little endian format.

[d258275d-e023-48c1-bc17-297f91344d4f]

In this particular case looks like a crux of the problem was in the fact that compression encodes extra fields only if either zip64 is set or length of the field is larger than threshold but decompression always tries to decode it. Attached PR switches decoding to be conditioned on the presence of zip64 end of central directory record.

[c1dfce53-4c86-41aa-8be2-81288cc14748]

Vladimir, if compression were the cause wouldn't the extra bytes I added (signature and length) not have any effect? If you've found an issue it seems like it would be a different one than I was triggering.

[f3f74c53-7cd7-40ef-bfbc-f65bc4a19f40]

I'm a little bit puzzled that this bug is closed as "not a bug" despite the fact that all versions of python allow the user to create "invalid" ZIP files and all version up to 3.7 are able to read those "invalid" files.

Currently we're stuck with a lot of already created ZIP files that cannot be read or fixed after an update to 3.7.

Would it be an option to make decoding of extra data optional eg. with an extra keyword arg to __init__?
