Description fred_m 2007-10-10 14:40:21 UTC 
I received by email a zipped xls file. When I tried to unzip this file, I got a
crc error on zip file, but xls file was generated (malformed)
When I tried to open this file, my OO calc use a lot of resource of my computer
and hang up and let my computer to slow. I need to kill calc process to continue
to use my computer.

Comment 4 fred_m 2007-10-18 20:11:50 UTC 
Hi Brian,

This is the problem.
When you tried to unzip the file you got a CRC error, but a XML file was generated.
Try to open it, and you will see the problem.

The usages of hardware resources will be increase a lot.

@fred: i can confirm the hang with m233.

@spreadsheet-team:
Loading a corrupted file into SO results in hang. Is there a chance for improved
sanity checking?
User email-received a corrupted zip containing a xls. As the zip is still
inflatable the problem arises.

[debian stable, UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Debian. Original by Info-ZIP.] 

Archive:  14965.zip
error [14965.zip]:  missing 1 bytes in zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)
error [14965.zip]:  attempt to seek before beginning of zipfile
  (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
  appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
  (attempting to re-compensate)
  inflating: Lista de Preco 20071010 1005.xls   bad CRC eddc2791  (should be
3d042592)

learning stage.

Hi, 

this is not a defect of Calc but an enhancement request. Opening of corrupted
files should not loop the Office but trying to open a file which is known as
corrupt isn't a good idea too.

Tried to open the ZIP with WinZip and can't. So this archive is entirely broken
and you can't expect to get a valid file from it.

BTW the contained file isn't a XLS but a HTML file saved by Excel which isn't
the same.

@daniel

As discussed for improving the filters this one is yours.
