New submission from Maciek Fijalkowski <fi...@genesilico.pl>:
I have troubles actually finding such a file, but I encountered it at
least once (file is gone by now though). The lines in question are for
bz2 compression:
in _BZ2Proxy.read:
try:
raw = self.fileobj.read(self.blocksize)
data = self.bz2obj.decompress(raw)
b.append(data)
except EOFError:
break
if it ever goes here (after finishing reading header) and data is
truncated, fileobj.read() will return 0 and data will be '' and
so on forever.
