Doc Text:
Cause: Cpio's crc checksum algorithm works with improperly casted or badly sized integers. Consequence: Even though the cpio utility extracts the files from "crc" archives (concrete cpio archive format) correctly, it fails if the archive contains files larger than 200MB and prints warning that the CRC of extracted file is not correct. Fix: Using integer type of proper size. Result: Cpio now extracts files larger than 200MB from 'crc' archives without complaining.

Description Steffen Froemer 2017-01-20 02:59:21 EST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1001965 +++

Description of problem:
cpio with crc format fails to verfy chjecksums and also can't extract the files.
This happens with files > ~200M (didn't see it with smaller ones).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version     : 2.11
Release     : 24.el7
Architecture: x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=rand bs=1M count=300
echo rand | cpio --create --format=crc --verbose > rand.cpio
cpio --extract --only-verify-crc < rand.cpio

Actual results:
cpio fails with checksum error:
rand
614401 blocks
cpio: rand: checksum error (0x9568bd204, should be 0x568bd204)
614401 blocks


Expected results:
cpio doesn't get a checksum error

Additional info:
This issue does not exist in F24.
