#18730 new defect

Ignore extra entries in OVF manifest file (.mf)

Reported by: darkdragon Owned by:
Component: OVF Version: VirtualBox 6.0.8
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

When a faulty program adds additional entries in the manifest file [1], VirtualBox crashes sometimes without error, sometimes with the error "NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE)". I propose that it should instead just ignore these entries.

Further, syntax errors like a misplaced closing bracket ")" in the filename should lead to a parsing error which should result in a understandable warning instead of abortion of the import process.
