Description
Perform various checks on tar file entries.

- checkTarbomb :: FilePath -> Entries e -> Entries (Either e TarBombError)
- data TarBombError = TarBombError FilePath
- checkPortability :: Entries e -> Entries (Either e PortabilityError)
- data PortabilityError
- type PortabilityPlatform = String
Security
checkSecurity :: Entries e -> Entries (Either e FileNameError) Source #
This function checks a sequence of tar entries for file name security problems. It checks that:
- file paths are not absolute
- file paths do not contain any path components that are "
.." - file names are valid
These checks are from the perspective of the current OS. That means we check
for "C:blah" files on Windows and "/blah" files on Unix. For archive
entry types HardLink and SymbolicLink the same checks are done for the
link target. A failure in any entry terminates the sequence of entries with
an error.
data FileNameError Source #
Errors arising from tar file names being in some way invalid or dangerous

Tarbombs
checkTarbomb :: FilePath -> Entries e -> Entries (Either e TarBombError) Source #
This function checks a sequence of tar entries for being a "tar bomb". This means that the tar file does not follow the standard convention that all entries are within a single subdirectory, e.g. a file "foo.tar" would usually have all entries within the "foo/" subdirectory.
Given the expected subdirectory, this function checks all entries are within that subdirectroy.
Note: This check must be used in conjunction with checkSecurity
(or checkPortability).
data TarBombError Source #
An error that occurs if a tar file is a "tar bomb" that would extract files outside of the intended directory.

Portability
checkPortability :: Entries e -> Entries (Either e PortabilityError) Source #
This function checks a sequence of tar entries for a number of portability issues. It will complain if:
- The old "Unix V7" or "gnu" formats are used. For maximum portability only the POSIX standard "ustar" format should be used.
- A non-portable entry type is used. Only ordinary files, hard links, symlinks and directories are portable. Device files, pipes and others are not portable between all common operating systems.
- Non-ASCII characters are used in file names. There is no agreed portable convention for Unicode or other extended character sets in file names in tar archives.
- File names that would not be portable to both Unix and Windows. This check includes characters that are valid in both systems and the '/' vs '\' directory separator conventions.
