[New-bugs-announce] [issue9835] ZipFile unix external attributes incorrect for entry written with writestr

[Thomas Sondergaard]

New submission from Thomas Sondergaard <thomas at sondergaard.cc>:

For entries written with writestr ZipFile doesn't record the file type in the unix external attributes block. It should set it to "regular file" (S_IFREG).

The attached sample creates a zip file. If you inspect it with zipinfo -v, you will see that the unix file type is not correct for the entry stored with writestr.

[ts at roadrunner ~]$ zipinfo -v test.zip |grep "Unix file attributes"
  Unix file attributes (000600 octal):              ?rw-------
  Unix file attributes (100664 octal):              -rw-rw-r--
