[New-bugs-announce] [issue40172] ZipInfo corrupts file names in some old zip archives

[Yudi]

New submission from Yudi <yudilevi at gmail.com>:

Some old zip files that don't yet use unicode file names might have entries with characters beyond the ascii range.
ZipInfo seems to encode these file names with 'cp437' codepage (correct for old zips) but decode them back with 'ascii' code page which might corrupt them.
