| [Regarding an optimization to the bounds-checking code in the core
 | |
|  NEXTBYTE macro, which code is absolutely vital to the proper processing
 | |
|  of corrupt zipfiles (lack of checking can result in an infinite loop)
 | |
|  but which also slows processing.]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| The key to the solution is a pair of small functions called
 | |
| defer_leftover_input() and undefer_input().  The idea is, whenever
 | |
| you are going to be processing input using NEXTBYTE, you call
 | |
| defer_leftover_input(), and whenever you are going to process input by
 | |
| any other means, such as readbuf(), ZLSEEK, or directly reading stuff
 | |
| into G.inbuf, you call undefer_input().  What defer_leftover_input()
 | |
| does is adjust G.incnt so that any data beyond the current end of file
 | |
| is not visible.  undefer_input() restores it to visibility.  So when
 | |
| you're calling NEXTBYTE (or NEEDBITS or READBITS), an end-of-data
 | |
| condition only occurs at the same time as an end-of-buffer condition,
 | |
| and can be handled inside readbyte() instead of needing a check in the
 | |
| NEXTBYTE macro.  Note: none of this applies to fUnZip.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order for this to work, certain conditions have to be met:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   1) NEXTBYTE input must not be mixed with other forms of input involving
 | |
|      G.inptr and G.incnt.  They must be separated by defer/undefer.
 | |
|      
 | |
|   I believe this condition is fully met by simply bracketing the central
 | |
|   part of extract_or_test_member with defer/undefer, around the part
 | |
|   where the actual decompression is done, and another defer/undefer pair
 | |
|   in decrypt() around the reading of the RAND_HEADER_LEN password bytes.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   When USE_ZLIB is defined, I think that calls of fillinbuf() must be
 | |
|   bracketed by defer/undefer.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   2) G.csize must not be assumed to contain the number of bytes left to
 | |
|      process, when decompressing with NEXTBYTE.  Instead, it contains
 | |
|      the number of bytes left after the current buffer is exausted.  To
 | |
|      check the number of bytes remaining, use (G.csize + G.incnt).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   I believe the only places this change was needed were in explode.c,
 | |
|   mostly in the check at the end of each explode function that tests
 | |
|   whether the correct number of bytes has been read.  G.incnt will
 | |
|   normally be zero at that time anyway.  The other place is the line
 | |
|   that says "bd = G.csize > 200000L ? 8 : 7;" but that's just a rough
 | |
|   heuristic anyway.
