Zip bombs are fun. I discovered a vulnerability in a security product once where it wouldn’t properly scan a file for malware if the file was or contained a zip archive greater than a certain size.

The practical effect of this was you could place a zip bomb in an office xml document and this product would pass the ooxml file through even if it contained easily identifiable malware.
