I think it makes a lot of sense to get this into a 9.x update, and I'll
work through the details as soon as there's a 9 update forest available
to commit backports to.

Would it not be viable to merge this into Java 9 in the foreseeable

unfamiliar with the whole process, so I realise my question may be
naive or that the answer is considered "common knowledge".

Hi,
this patch addresses an unfortunate regression where
backtick characters
in a manifest can cause an AIOOBE.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186334
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186334>
Basically an off-by-one issue during certain steps in the
search algorithm,
meaning it is context dependent whether a backtick will
trip on this issue
or not.
Ooops, looks good.
Thanks for reviewing!
I see a workaround has been pushed to Jackson, which reduced
my urge to suggest a nine respin. But… being slightly paranoid
testing JarFile on a local maven central mirror would give us
a better sense of the impact.
I think the 9 train has left the station even for issues of this
severity. And seeing as there are somewhat straightforward
workarounds I guess we'll have to live with my mistakes. Sorry!
