[issue6839] zipfile can't extract file

[Adam Polkosnik]

Adam Polkosnik added the comment:

I've also tested with WinZip, and Windows Explorer, on windows. Both extract the contents of test.zip without a warning (just like 7zip on Windows did). This behavior counts as Denial Of Service if the zipfile Library is used to extract files, besides lots of formats use ZIP as an envelope; DOCX, APK, JAR, EPUB come to mind.
