extract_tar_archive: per-entry unpack loop lost directory deferral and dst canonicalization

[thcp]

Follow-up to #505 / #506. Found while auditing my own merged change.

extract_tar_archive was changed from Archive::unpack(dst) to a per-entry unpack_in loop in order to skip AppleDouble ._ members. That rewrite silently dropped two properties Archive::unpack provided.

What was lost

Archive::_unpack (tar-0.4.45 archive.rs:245-265) does this:

// Delay any directory entries until the end (they will be created if needed by
// descendants), to ensure that directory permissions do not interfere with
// descendant extraction.
let mut directories = Vec::new();
for entry in self._entries(None)? {
    let mut file = entry?;
    if file.header().entry_type() == crate::EntryType::Directory {
        directories.push(file);
    } else {
        file.unpack_in(dst)?;
    }
}
directories.sort_by(|a, b| b.path_bytes().cmp(&a.path_bytes()));
for mut dir in directories { dir.unpack_in(dst)?; }

1. Directory deferral. Directories are buffered and applied last, reverse-sorted by path (tar-rs#242). Our loop creates them inline in archive order, so a directory member carrying a restrictive mode (e.g. 0o555, which ditto/tar record faithfully) is created before its children are written. The next file inside it then fails File::create with EACCES and unpack_without_apple_double returns Err, so first-run setup fails hard with no fallback.

2. dst.canonicalize() up front, which on Windows supplies the \\?\ extended-length prefix so member paths over 260 characters still extract.

What was NOT lost

Traversal protection is intact. EntryFields::unpack_in still rejects ParentDir components, strips RootDir/Prefix, and calls validate_inside_dst, which canonicalizes on every entry. Zip-slip, absolute members and symlink escapes remain blocked. This is a robustness regression, not a security one.

Impact

Latent today. The published 0.16.0 pack contains no restrictive directory members: extracting it end to end produced 27,797 files and 0 sidecars. Windows takes the zip path for updates, so the long-path loss is currently theoretical.

Fix

Mirror upstream: buffer EntryType::Directory entries, apply them after the file pass reverse-sorted by path, and canonicalize destination before the loop.

Test

Extract an archive containing a 0o555 directory with children and assert it succeeds. Keep extract_tar_archive_drops_apple_double_sidecars green.
