RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Guillaume Radde 2016-02-15 17:58:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Password protected zip files created with file-roller cannot be opened by Winzip.

This is a common way to securely email sensitive documents. Create a password protected zip file containing the documents, then email it. Unfortunately, the archive created by file-roller cannot be opened by Windows users using Winzip.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
file-roller-3.14.2-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a password protected zip archive using file-roller
2. Email it to a Windows user
3. Have the user open the password protected archive in Winzip.

Actual results:

Winzip will throw an error and won't open the zip.


Expected results:
Winzip should be able to open the zip.

Additional info:
This may be due to the encryption algorithm used by file-roller. 7zip offers 2 encryption methods (ZipCrypto and AES-256). ZipCrypto seems to be compatible with Winzip.
