hgrossauer opened this issue · comments
Basic Information
Version of libarchive: 3.6.2
How you obtained it: build from source
Operating system and version: CentOS-7
What compiler and/or IDE you are using (include version): gcc (GCC) 11.1.1 20210428 (Red Hat 11.1.1-1)
Description of the problem you are seeing:
What did you do?
r = archive_read_next_header(m_ina, &m_entry);
if(r != ARCHIVE_OK){ /* error handling and bail out */ }
std::string filename = archive_entry_pathname(m_entry);
What did you expect to happen?
Get a valid pointer.
What actually happened?
SIGSEGV because archive_entry_pathname returns a nullptr

The m_entry structure here does not hold a valid filename because ae_pathname.aes_set == 0. So it makes sense that you would get NULL when querying the pathname. Some archive formats can have entries that lack filenames; can you provide details of the particular archive that was being read?
