> TarUtils.parseName does not stop at the first NUL byte, resulting in non-empty strings where they should be empty.
> This manifests if the tar file contains a star_header struct instead of a posix_header as defined in https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Standard.html
> The javadoc on parseName states "Parse an entry name from a buffer. Parsing stops when a NUL is found or the buffer length is reached."
> However, the implementation starts at the end of the buffer and stops when the first non-NUL is found.
> The solution is to replace:
> {code:java}
>   int len = length;
>   for (; len > 0; len--) {
>     if (buffer[offset + len - 1] != 0) {
>       break;
>     }
>   }
> {code}
> by
> {code:java}
>   int len = 0;
>   for (int i = offset; len < length && buffer[i] != 0; i++, len++);
> {code}
> This has been introduce in commit https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-compress.git;a=commitdiff;h=69ceb4e14feb6273c06c1e35ba116b6783bb3278
