Summary |
0000262: tar -x doesn't believe it has reached the end of archive |
|
Description |
Some (other) tars don't follow the recommendation to fill with zeros the space between the two consecutive empty headers at the end of archive and the actual end of file, and so there are some tar archives with garbage in that slack space. Busybox tar keeps interpreting everything, and when it reaches that garbage, complains about "invalid tar magic". The attached patch appropriately detects the end of archive and then empties the input pipe. |
