Summary
  • When fast-forwarding through a zstd frame, we incorrectly used the min() inline function instead of the MIN() macro. The function truncates the result to unsigned int, resulting in a decompression error when trying to seek more than 4 GB into the frame.
  • POSIX states that a size extended header record overrides the size field in the header if present, and that one must be included if the size of the file exceeds 8 GB (the size field maxes out at 64 GB).
