CVE-2019-14866



Hi Sergey, Thomas and cpio Debian maintainers

I have been preparing fixes for CVE-2019-14866 for Debian oldstable and oldoldstable. While doing that I realized that the patch mentioned here (1) do work for amd64 but do not work for i386.
I was able to build on both amd64 and i386 but the fix obviously did not work on i386 since I could reproduce the problem.

I think the reason for this is that a long is 32 bit on i386 while it is 64 bits on amd64.

(1) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2019-08/msg00003.html  

The fix is very simple. Change the "long" to a "long long" in to_out_or_error.

With that correction it works when I build and test on i386.
Please let me know what you think. I'm going to upload a fixed package to debian old and oldold stable tomorrow.

Best regards

// Ola
