--------------------------------------
Summary: TAR checksum fails when checksum is right aligned
Key: COMPRESS-335
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-335
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archivers
Affects Versions: 1.10
Reporter: Jeremy Gustie
The linked TAR has a checksum with zero padding on the left instead of the
expected {{NULL-SPACE}} terminator on the right. As a result the last two
digits of the stored checksum are lost and the otherwise valid checksum is
treated as invalid.
Given that the code already checks for digits being in range before adding them
to the stored sum, is it necessary to only look at the first 6 octal digits
instead of the whole field?
