Thanks for your bug report.

This seems to happen in Digest::SHA, but I leave the detailed
investigation to someone faster :)

I note that both /usr/bin/shasum and Digest::SHA are in both src:perl
and libdigest-sha-perl, hence cloning the bug.


Cheers,

Bug#986136: perl: shasum treats read errors like end of file

[Stefan Arnold]

Package: perl
Version: 5.28.1-6+deb10u1
Severity: normal

I noticed his while testing with an filesystem that should give "read error" at
a certain point which did not happen but instead gives a hash output. The
easiest way to reproduce is shasuming a folder:

strace -e trace=read shasum 0
pn  libterm-readline-gnu-perl | libterm-readline-perl-perl  
ii  make4.2.1-1.2
pn  perl-doc
ii  perl-modules-5.24 [liblocale-codes-perl]5.24.1-3+deb9u5
