Functions

func ExtractTar

func ExtractTar(rs io.Reader, dir string, overwrite bool, pwl PathWhitelistMap) error

ExtractTar extracts a tarball (from a io.Reader) into the given directory if pwl is not nil, only the paths in the map are extracted. If overwrite is true, existing files will be overwritten. The extraction is executed by fork/exec()ing a new process. The new process needs the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability.

func HdrToTimespec

func HdrToTimespec(hdr *tar.Header) []syscall.Timespec

Types

type PathWhitelistMap

type PathWhitelistMap map[string]struct{}

Map of paths that should be whitelisted. The paths should be relative to the root of the tar file and should be cleaned (for example using filepath.Clean)
