Description

ASCII cpio archive parser is incomplete and buggy. It is used in Debian archive and RPM archive (compressed by bzip2).

Example where Hachoir doesn't work: 

$ dd if=~/testcase/ftp-0.17-537.i586.rpm of=out.bz2 skip=3170 bs=1
(...)
$ bunzip2 out.bz2
$ file out
out: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
$ hachoir-metadata out
[err!] Unable to parse file: out
