[jira] [Created] (COMPRESS-575) Harden handling of sparse TAR entries

Stefan Bodewig created COMPRESS-575:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Harden handling of sparse TAR entries
                 Key: COMPRESS-575
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-575
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 1.20
            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig


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.
