If you have a .zip file with an incomplete "End of Central Directory" 
record, _EndRecData() will throw a struct.error:

D:\c64workdir\Ultimate_Mag_Archive>e:ziptest.py "old - 
Ultimate_Mag_Archive"
Handling A-z\0\64times01-double.zip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\wwwroot\c64db\tools\ziptest.py", line 48, in <module>
    ok = handle_file(data, rel_filename)
  File "E:\wwwroot\c64db\tools\ziptest.py", line 19, in handle_file
    z = zipfile.ZipFile(cStringIO.StringIO(data), "r")
  File "C:\Python26\lib\zipfile.py", line 698, in __init__
    self._GetContents()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\zipfile.py", line 718, in _GetContents
    self._RealGetContents()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\zipfile.py", line 728, in _RealGetContents
    endrec = _EndRecData(fp)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\zipfile.py", line 219, in _EndRecData
    endrec = list(struct.unpack(structEndArchive, recData))
struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 22

The fix is to include a check to see if there is data enough for the 
whole record before attempting to unpack.

please attach 64times01-double.zip if possible

Here is the file. Note that this can be reproduced with any zip file if 
you delete the last byte of the file.

I wrote a test for this and tried out the patch on the Python3 trunk, and it seems to work ok.  I've attached an updated patch that includes the test.

It probably wouldn't hurt to go look for other places where a struct is being unpacked without checking lengths first, and see if it makes sense to add a similar check in those places, too.  I may do that later if I have some more free time.

Following EAFP principle, it would be better - cleaner and more efficient - to put the stuct.unpack inside a try/except clause than checking the lengths beforehand.

I had to look up the abbreviation (Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission), but that does sound like a good idea.  Thanks for mentioning it. :-)

Here is a patch for 3.4, which adds checks for other unpacks (except one, for which issue14315 exists). Also BadZipfile replaced by BadZipFile and trailing whitespaces deleted.

For 2.7 BadZipFile should be replaced by BadZipfile back.

In test_damaged_zipfile:

+        for N in range(len(s) - 2):
+            with open(TESTFN, "wb") as f:
+                f.write(s[:N])

why not `range(len(s))` instead?
msg176809 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2012-12-02 20:59
I just copy it from Alan's test. Actually this is not needed, `range(len(s))` can be used.

Patch updated. Now the test use io.BytesIO() for input too. A loop limit changed from len() -2 to len().

If there are no objections I'll commit this patch next week.
