Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-335:
-----------------------------------------
We could probably use {{parseOctal}} for reading the checksum, I'll give it a
try.
> 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?
