Stefan Bodewig updated COMPRESS-575:
------------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Task)
> Harden handling of sparse TAR entries
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-575
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.20
> Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the handling of sparse tar entries works well for the blue-sky case
> where the archive is not corrupted in any way. But if there are problems like
> non-numeric values in the wrong places, negative offsets and so on, Compress
> may throw some hard to understand RuntimeExceptions or fail in other
> difficult to trace ways.
