[issue18595] zipfile: symlinks etc.

[Xavier Combelle]

Xavier Combelle added the comment:

about the readlink functionnality, I would like to point that it might lead to security issues see for example https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/73718/how-zip-symlink-works

At least, the standard read should not do it by default.
