Your report seems to be about the need for the "/* remove leading
slashes */" code to occur after (not before) the "/* get next UTF-8
character */" code. Is this the only vulnerability being reported, or
is the stated behavior of "This doesn't reject bad UTF-8 with overlong
encodings, but does re-encode it as valid UTF-8" an independent
vulnerability?

What happens if the .cab archive contains only one file, and \/tmp/abs
is the filename?
