The ALPM cataloger handed a gzip stream straight to `mtree.ParseSpec`, which materializes every entry before it returns any of them. Nothing capped the decompressed size, so a crafted mtree in a scanned image expanded until the process died. 64KB of input is enough to produce 64MB, and the ratio scales. Reads through a limit now and rejects a listing that exceeds it. The read goes one byte past the cap so that tripping it is distinguishable from a listing that simply ends there, since silently truncating would produce a package missing most of its files. The existing error path already surfaces this as an unknown. The cap is well above any real package: an mtree names every file with its digests, and even the largest packages land far under it.
