Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-5103. This is the Java counterpart of DSPX-5102 / opentdf/platform#4202.

Summary

A hostile archive could hang SDK.isTDF / TDF.loadTDF, or make them throw unchecked exceptions that callers screening untrusted input don't catch. #398 already reads the central directory fields unsigned and bounds-checks the EOCD, zip64 locator, CD offset and entry count. This PR closes the remaining gaps:

  1. Extra-field loop. The loop now walks the extra field record by record, and every step moves at least one 4-byte header forward. A record whose data size runs past the extra field is rejected with InvalidZipException, and so is a zip64 record too short for the values its sentinels promise. Fewer than 4 trailing bytes are ignored, as Go's archive/zip does.
    • Releases up to v0.18.0 read the data size signed, so 0xFFFC becomes -4 and the loop spins forever on it (DoS). v0.19.0 reads it unsigned, which stops the hang, but on main an oversized data size still walks past the extra field (isTDF returns true for the 0xFFFC shape), and a zip64 record too short for its sentinels has the missing values read from whatever follows it.
  2. Negative or out-of-range sizes and offsets. Zip64 sizes and offsets above Long.MAX_VALUE are now rejected. Before, they read as negative, so position(-1) threw IllegalArgumentException or a size of -1 read the manifest as "". Also rejected: an extra field or file comment that runs past the central directory, and an entry whose local header offset or compressed size doesn't fit in it. The uncompressed size is still checked lazily (fix(sdk): DSPX-4589 zip64 EOCD sentinels, truncated archive detection, and UTF-8 entry names #398 reports a short entry as truncated).
  3. No manifest size cap, on purpose. There is no fixed cap on manifest size because DSPX-4502 targets 50 TiB payloads, whose manifests exceed 1 GiB. A hostile declared size is handled by the archive bounds check (offset + compressed size <= channel.size()). Since feat(sdk): DSPX-4584 stream the TDF manifest, remove the ~21.7M segment ceiling #399 (DSPX-4584) the manifest is streamed into the parser rather than buffered whole. A manifest whose declared size runs past the archive fails either when the parser reaches the end of the archive or at the first non-JSON byte after the entry, so the parser never reads more than the archive holds. (An earlier commit in this PR added a 10 MiB cap. A follow-up commit removes it.)
  4. Typed failures.
    • TDF.loadTDF and SDK.readManifest now go through the new TDFReader.open / TDFReader.readManifest. These turn container and manifest malformation into SDK.MalformedTDFException. The underlying causes are InvalidZipException, IllegalArgumentException and Gson's JsonParseException. (Gson already rethrows an IllegalStateException raised while parsing as JsonSyntaxException.)
    • SDK.isTDF also returns false for any other RuntimeException, as a commented backstop for its boolean contract.
    • A payload whose declared size runs past the end of the archive is only detected when it is read. TDFReader.readPayloadBytes now wraps that InvalidZipException as SDK.MalformedTDFException too, as readManifest() does for the manifest stream, instead of letting the unchecked zip exception escape.
    • New additive constructor: MalformedTDFException(String, Exception).
  5. Null statement fields. In an assertion statement, a JSON null for format, schema or value now reads as null. Before, format and schema threw UnsupportedOperationException, and value became the string "null". An object or array format or schema is now a JsonParseException; numbers and booleans are still read as their string form.

Behavior change: callers of loadTDF / SDK.readManifest that caught IllegalArgumentException or Gson exceptions for bad input will now get SDK.MalformedTDFException (an SDKException). TDFReader's constructor itself is unchanged. A truncated payload now fails Reader.readPayload with SDK.MalformedTDFException. Before #398 it returned short data and failed with an IllegalStateException about the segment; on main it fails with a bare InvalidZipException.

Still open: trusting payload.isEncrypted = false (DSPX-4748) is out of scope here and has not been fixed.

Tests

  • New HostileZips test helper builds stored archives by hand, with 11 hostile central-directory shapes. The short zip64 record is followed by bytes that read as a size that fits, so only the zip64 record bound rejects it.
  • Every shape runs under a 5 s assertTimeoutPreemptively against:
    • ZipReader: InvalidZipException
    • SDK.isTDF: false
    • SDK.readManifest: MalformedTDFException
    • TDF.loadTDF: MalformedTDFException
  • Valid-archive controls: the unmodified hand-built archive, and a zip64 extra field placed among other records with trailing padding.
  • loadTDF tests for a manifest whose declared size runs past the archive (MalformedTDFException caused by InvalidZipException; the manifest opens a JSON comment so the streaming parser reads on to the end of the archive) and for invalid manifest JSON (not JSON, [], wrong types, a statement with an object format).
  • ZipReaderTest: a filename running past the central directory is rejected; this fails against main's reader. A declared directory size running into the next record (plain and zip64) is rejected too. That check comes from fix(sdk): DSPX-4589 zip64 EOCD sentinels, truncated archive detection, and UTF-8 entry names #398, so this test also passes on main; it guards the invariant the per-header bound relies on.
  • TDFReaderTest.openReportsAZipThatIsNotATDFAsMalformed: a zip with no manifest, no payload, or a name listed twice fails TDFReader.open as MalformedTDFException, caused by IllegalArgumentException.
  • TDFReaderTest.reportsATruncatedPayloadAsMalformed: a payload whose declared size runs past the archive fails as MalformedTDFException, caused by InvalidZipException.
  • A test that reads an 11 MiB manifest whole, so a size limit can't creep back in.
  • ManifestTest tests for null and non-string statement fields.
  • The shapes are added as Jazzer seeds in FuzzingInputs/fuzzZipRead and FuzzingInputs/fuzzTDF, with dspx5103- names so they don't collide with the seeds chore(ci): fuzz Jazzer targets on relevant merges, tighten fuzzZipRead, add zip seeds #416 added on main.
  • Against main's ZipReader, the isTDF and ZipReader shape loops fail (isTDF returns true for the 0xFFFC shape), and so does the filename test. Removing the zip64 record bound, the IllegalArgumentException wrap in TDFReader.open, or the InvalidZipException wrap in TDFReader.readManifest, fails the corresponding new tests.

Checks run (locally, JDK 21, compiling to release 11)

  • Rebased onto main after feat(sdk): DSPX-4584 stream the TDF manifest, remove the ~21.7M segment ceiling #399. mvn -o -pl sdk test -Denforcer.skip=true -Dmaven.antrun.skip=true, plus the same with -Dtest=Fuzzing (its name doesn't match surefire's default pattern): 412 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 9 skipped (the skips were already there: FIPS, E2E, etc.). This includes the Jazzer seed regression (Fuzzing, 41 inputs), new seeds included. Proto codegen was skipped; generated sources came from an earlier build.
  • SonarCloud: the last commit fixes the two findings in this PR's code (cognitive complexity in readCentralDirectoryFileHeader, two throwing calls in one assertThatThrownBy lambda) and the two test assert statements that failed the quality gate, which predate this PR. Three redundant-new byte[] findings in TDFTest and a could-be-final field in TDF also predate it and are left alone.
  • Not run: the full mvn clean verify -P coverage, actual fuzzing (-P fuzz), the cmdline/examples modules, and xtest.

Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4589

This PR carries everything left of DSPX-4589 now that #397 has merged.
#396 is closed as a duplicate.

It started as three zip container conformance findings from an audit
against PKWARE APPNOTE.TXT. Review turned up more reader hardening,
which is also here. None of it has known field impact; the one finding
that did is #397.

## Release note

> **Behavior change:** `ZipReader` now looks for the end of central
directory record only in the last 22 + 65,535 bytes of the archive,
which is the most a zip comment can push it back. An archive with more
than 64 KiB of data appended *after* the record (not a comment) used to
read and is now rejected with `InvalidZipException`. Zip64 archives with
trailing data never read correctly before and now do. Truncated archives
and entries now fail with `InvalidZipException` rather than being
accepted or returning short data. An archive whose central directory
does not end exactly where the record after it starts (the zip64 end of
central directory record if there is one, otherwise the end of central
directory record) is rejected; every writer we know of, this SDK's
included, writes them back to back.

## Public API note

`InvalidZipException` is unchecked (it extends `RuntimeException`). Two
places that used to report truncation through `IOException` now throw it
instead:
- `new ZipReader(channel)` and `readCentralDirectoryFileHeader()` throw
`InvalidZipException` for a filename cut short, where they used to throw
`EOFException`.
- An entry's `InputStream` throws `InvalidZipException` when the archive
ends before the entry does, where it used to return `-1` early.

Callers that catch only `IOException` around these will now see an
unchecked exception. Inside the SDK, `SDK.isTDF` already catches both.
#418 wraps the manifest and payload cases in `TDFReader` as
`SDK.MalformedTDFException`.

## Writer

### End of central directory sentinel thresholds (fixed)

`ZipWriter.finish()` decided whether the archive needed a zip64 end of
central directory record with masks that matched none of the field
widths:

```java
(numEntries & ~0xFF) != 0 || (startOfCentralDirectory & ~0xFFFF) != 0 || (sizeOfCentralDirectory & ~0xFFFF) != 0
```

Any archive with 256 or more entries was needlessly promoted to zip64,
and the offset and size checks fired three orders of magnitude too
early. Now:

```java
var isZip64 = hasZip64Entry
        || numEntries > MAX_NON_ZIP64_ENTRY_COUNT          // Short.MAX_VALUE
        || needsZip64(startOfCentralDirectory, sizeOfCentralDirectory);
```

All three thresholds stop short of what the format allows (`0xFFFE`
entries, `0xFFFFFFFE` bytes), so that a reader widening these unsigned
fields with a signed read never sees a negative value. Released versions
of this SDK do exactly that: an entry count above 32,767 would come back
negative and read as an empty archive. So an archive goes zip64 at
32,768 entries, and at the same 2 GiB (`Integer.MAX_VALUE`) offset/size
ceiling the per-entry fields already use. Routing offset and size
through `needsZip64` also keeps the `ZipWriter(out, maxNonZip64Value)`
test seam from #393 usable for them. Whenever the writer goes zip64 it
sets the offset sentinel too, which is the only one older readers check.

### UTF-8 entry names

The ticket says the central directory filename length was computed from
`String.length()`. The assignment existed (`cdFileHeader.filenameLength
= (short) fileInfo.filename.length();`), but `CDFileHeader.write()`
never read it: it wrote the length of the encoded byte array. The local
header's copy was set from the encoded bytes too. **The bytes on the
wire were already correct**; no archive was ever mis-written.

What changed:
- The dead `filenameLength` field in `CDFileHeader` is gone, and
`LocalFileHeader` now takes its length from the encoded bytes it writes,
like `CDFileHeader` does.
- A new `encodeFilename` helper rejects a name over `Short.MAX_VALUE`
UTF-8 bytes with an `SDKException` rather than silently truncating it
into the 2-byte field. The cap is `Short.MAX_VALUE` rather than `0xFFFF`
for the same signed-read reason as above: older SDK readers read the
name length as signed. Validation runs before anything is written, so a
rejected name leaves the writer usable.
- `data()` entries now set the UTF-8 flag (general purpose bit 11) in
the local header as well as the central directory. It was previously set
only in the central directory, so readers that go by the local header
could garble non-ASCII names. `stream()` entries already set it in both.

## Reader

- **End of central directory scan.** A short read used to be treated as
a signature match. The scan now:
- only matches a real signature, and throws `InvalidZipException` if it
finds none;
- is bounded to the last 22 + 0xFFFF bytes (see the release note).
Previously it was unbounded, doing a positioned 4-byte read per byte
back to the start of the file;
- skips any candidate whose declared comment would run past the end of
the archive. That rejects a record whose comment was truncated. Trailing
data after an honest comment is still allowed;
- skips any candidate whose central directory does not end exactly where
the next record starts: the zip64 end of central directory record if
there is one (including one written without sentinels, as
commons-compress does), otherwise the candidate itself. This is what
passes over a stray `PK\5\6` inside a comment or in trailing data whose
declared comment happens to fit, such as a zero-filled one, which used
to read as an empty archive. If no candidate passes, the failure of the
one nearest the end is reported.
- **Zip64 locator.** The locator is found relative to the end of central
directory record it precedes (APPNOTE 4.3.15), not relative to the end
of the file. This is what makes zip64 archives with trailing data
readable. An archive too small to hold the locator it claims is
rejected.
- **Bounds checks.** Offsets taken from the archive (the zip64 end of
central directory pointer and the central directory offset) are checked
against the archive size, and so is the entry count: a negative or
impossibly large zip64 count is rejected instead of reading as an empty
archive. So is a zip64 entry size or central directory size that reads
as a negative `long`; a negative entry size used to read as an empty
entry.
- **Short and empty reads.** Every fixed-width read loops until it is
full. `ReadableByteChannel.read` may return fewer bytes than asked, or
none at all, without being at end of stream; only `-1` is end of file.
Empty reads are retried at most 16 times in a row, without waiting, and
then fail with an `IOException` that names the channel class. So a
channel with nothing to give can't make the reader spin, but `ZipReader`
needs a blocking channel; non-blocking channels are not supported.
`loadTDF` takes caller-supplied channels, so this is reachable from the
public API.
- **Truncation is always an error.** Entry data that runs past the end
of the archive now throws `InvalidZipException` instead of ending the
stream early with a short entry. A filename cut short throws
`InvalidZipException` instead of `EOFException`.
`InputStream.read(byte[], int, int)` no longer returns 0 for a non-empty
request.
- Error messages name the record, offset and bytes found. The locator
signature error used to name the wrong record. A bad local file header
signature now names the entry and offset.

## Tests

30 new tests:

**`ZipWriterTest`** (6)
- One test per end of central directory sentinel:
- entry count: `Short.MAX_VALUE` stays non-zip64 and `Short.MAX_VALUE +
1` goes zip64, both round-tripped through `ZipReader`;
  - central directory offset;
  - central directory size.

Each is isolated so that only the end of central directory record is
zip64 and no entry is.
- `filenameLengthIsMeasuredInUtf8Bytes` writes `"🔒両.txt"` (7 UTF-16 code
units, 11 UTF-8 bytes). It checks the length at both header offsets and
the UTF-8 flag in both headers.
- `rejectsAnEntryNameTooLongToDescribe` covers the boundary: a
32,767-byte name is accepted and reads back, and 32,768 bytes is
rejected on both the `data()` and `stream()` paths. It also checks that
the writer still works after a rejection and that the result has exactly
one entry.
- `streamedEntryNameIsMeasuredInUtf8Bytes` round-trips a non-ASCII name
through `stream()`, the path a TDF payload takes, with both `ZipReader`
and commons-compress. The 32,768-entry archive is also opened with
commons-compress.

**`ZipReaderTest`** (24)

Truncated or malformed trailing records:
- truncated archives (four shapes) and an archive too short for its
zip64 locator;
- an end of central directory record pushed past the comment limit is
rejected;
- a zip64 archive with the longest possible comment (0xFFFF bytes) still
reads;
- a decoy signature inside the comment is skipped, both one whose
declared comment runs past the end and one whose comment fits:
zero-filled, a copy of the real record, and a copy claiming one entry,
each in a roomy comment, a comment it fills exactly, and trailing data,
on plain and zip64 archives;
- a truncated comment is rejected.

Bounds checks:
- a zip64 locator pointer outside the archive;
- a zip64 central directory offset outside the archive;
- a plain (non-zip64) central directory offset outside the archive;
- a negative or impossibly large zip64 entry count;
- a zip64 entry size, and a zip64 central directory size, that read as
negative;
- an end of central directory record that claims zip64 with no locator
in front of it;
- a zip64 locator that points inside the archive, but at the wrong
record.

Channel behavior:
- a channel returning short reads (1 to 8 bytes at a time);
- a channel returning empty reads;
- a channel that stops returning data, both before the archive is opened
and partway through an entry (through both `read()` and `read(byte[])`);
- a channel whose `size()` claims more bytes than it holds.

Everything else:
- a zip64 archive with trailing data reads;
- an empty archive reads;
- a central directory filename running past the end is rejected;
- entry data running past the end is rejected, through both `read()` and
`read(byte[])`;
- a zero-length read returns 0, including at the end of an entry.

Negative tests match error messages on stable values (entry name,
offset, size) rather than wording.

The writer sentinel tests were confirmed to be real regression tests by
reverting the mask fix and watching them fail. Run against the previous
`ZipReader`, the new tests for empty reads, a stalled channel, the decoy
and truncated comments, the entry count bounds, filename truncation and
entry truncation all fail. Without the fixes from earlier in this PR,
the tests for short reads, trailing data and locator bounds fail too.
The decoy tests with a comment that fits and the negative entry size
test fail against the reader as it was before the latest commit. The
plain-truncation, longest-comment, empty-archive and plain-offset tests
pass on the old code; they are there to lock that behavior in.

```
mvn -o -pl sdk test -Denforcer.skip=true -Dmaven.antrun.skip=true   [JDK 21, generated sources from an earlier build]
  -> 338 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 8 skipped
```

## End-to-end validation

None of this has an xtest cell of its own; it is unit-tested only. What
e2e gives this PR is a no-regression signal: xtest on this PR is green
across java/go/js against `main` and v0.26.0 (see the X-Test Results
comments). [opentdf/tests run
34357326964](https://github.com/opentdf/tests/actions/runs/34357326964)
also passed earlier with `force-supports=chunky`, including all five
java `test_chunky_roundtrip` pairs. That run predates the latest round
of reader changes.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* ZIP archives are read reliably when data arrives in partial chunks or
channels temporarily return no data; persistently stalled reads now fail
instead of hanging.
* Missing, truncated, or out-of-bounds archive metadata and entry data
are reported as errors.
* ZIP64 archives are handled correctly, including those with large entry
counts or central directories.

* **Improvements**
* Non-ASCII filenames use accurate UTF-8 byte lengths and flags in
archive headers.
* Entry names that exceed ZIP format limits are rejected with a clear
error.

…fields (DSPX-5103)

A malformed archive could hang SDK.isTDF / loadTDF or make them throw
unchecked exceptions that callers screening untrusted input don't catch.

- Walk the central directory extra field record by record: every step
  advances, a record may not claim more bytes than the extra field has
  left, and zip64 values must fit inside their record.
- Reject zip64 sizes/offsets above Long.MAX_VALUE, extra fields and
  comments that run past the archive, and entries whose local header
  offset or compressed size do not fit in it.
- Cap the manifest at 10 MiB (Go default, web limit) before reading it.
- loadTDF and SDK.readManifest report malformed containers and manifests
  as SDK.MalformedTDFException; isTDF returns false for any parse
  failure.
- Read a JSON null in an assertion statement's format/schema/value as
  null instead of throwing or producing the string "null".

Adds regression tests with preemptive timeouts and Jazzer seeds for each
hostile shape.

DSPX-4502 targets 50 TiB payloads whose manifests exceed 1 GiB, so any
fixed manifest size limit breaks legitimate TDFs. A hostile declared
size is already contained by the archive bounds checks: an entry whose
stored bytes do not fit in the archive is rejected, and a manifest that
claims more than the archive holds fails as truncated, so the reader
never buffers more than the archive contains. Memory scaling for huge
manifests is DSPX-4584.

Replace the oversized-manifest test with one for a manifest running
past the archive and one reading an 11 MiB manifest.

A payload whose declared size runs past the end of the archive is only
found when it is read, and readPayloadBytes let the resulting
InvalidZipException escape unwrapped. Wrap it as MalformedTDFException,
as manifest() already does.
…ize (DSPX-5103)

The reader checked each central directory header only against the end
of the archive. A header with an inflated filename length could read
the end of central directory record, and any trailing bytes, into the
entry name.

Keep the declared central directory size from both the plain and the
zip64 record. Reject a directory that runs into the record after it,
bound the entry count by the declared size, and hold each header's fixed

Gson's fromJson rethrows an IllegalStateException raised while parsing as
JsonSyntaxException, and optionalString removed the last source of
UnsupportedOperationException, so neither can reach TDFReader.readManifest.
Narrow its catch to JsonParseException and IllegalArgumentException.

Also correct the comment on TDFReader.manifest(): the archive bound comes
from the entry's stream failing at the end of the archive, not from the
compressed size check in ZipReader, which this read does not use.

Drop ticket references and bug history from comments; both belong in commit
messages, and the history was stale anyway: main already reads the extra field
data size unsigned, so it never looped there. Shorten javadoc on private
helpers to the reason each one exists, and reword the entry count comment,
which the per-header central directory bound made inaccurate.

TDFReader.open wraps the IllegalArgumentException its constructor raises for
a zip that is not a TDF, but only the constructor was tested, so dropping the
wrap left every test green. Test it through open().

The zip64 extra field too short for its sentinels shape followed the record
with bytes that read as an oversized compressed size, so the archive bound
rejected it even without the record bound. Follow it with two empty records
instead, which read as a size that fits, and update both fuzz seeds for the
shape to match.

🟡 Minor · Measure the compressed bound from the data start, not the local header… · ZipReader.java:609-620

sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/ZipReader.java:609-620
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Measure the compressed bound from the data start, not the local header offset.

The central-directory check counts compressedSize from relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader. The entry's stored bytes start after the 30-byte local header, its filename, and its extra field. An archive whose compressed data runs past EOF can therefore pass this check. SDK.isTDF then returns true when the names match, without reading payload data. Use the data start from findStartOfData() for this bound.

Suggested fix
-        // counted from the start of its local header, the entry's stored bytes must fit in the
-        // archive. where its data actually starts, and its uncompressed size, are checked when
-        // the entry is read
-        if (relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader >= zipChannel.size()
-                || compressedSize > zipChannel.size() - relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader) {
+        // the entry's stored bytes start at its data offset and must fit in the archive
+        Entry entry = new Entry(fileName.array(), relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader, uncompressedSize);
+        long dataStart = entry.findStartOfData();
+        if (compressedSize > zipChannel.size() - dataStart) {
             throw new InvalidZipException("Entry [" + new String(fileName.array(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
-                    + "] claims " + compressedSize + " bytes at local header offset " + relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader
+                    + "] claims " + compressedSize + " bytes at data offset " + dataStart
                     + ", which does not fit in this " + zipChannel.size() + " byte archive");
         }
         zipChannel.position(fileCommentEnd);
 
-        return new Entry(fileName.array(), relativeOffsetOfLocalHeader, uncompressedSize);
+        return entry;
