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.

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:

(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:

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 passes over a stray PK\5\6 inside a comment or in trailing data, and rejects a record whose comment was truncated. Trailing data after an honest comment is still allowed.
  • 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.
  • 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 and then fail with an IOException, so a channel with nothing to give can't make the reader spin. 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.

Tests

22 new tests:

ZipWriterTest (5)

  • 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.

ZipReaderTest (17)

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;
  • 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.

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.

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[]).

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 plain-truncation, longest-comment, empty-archive and plain-offset tests pass on the old code; they are there to lock that behavior in.

mvn -pl sdk -am test   [JDK 21]
  -> 309 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 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

    • Improved ZIP archive reading when data arrives in partial chunks, including channels that occasionally return no data; repeated stalled reads now fail instead of hanging.
    • Invalid, truncated, or out-of-bounds archive metadata and entry data are reported as errors.
    • ZIP archives with trailing data and valid long comments are handled correctly.
    • Improved compatibility with ZIP64 archives and large central directories.
  • Improvements

    • Non-ASCII filenames use accurate UTF-8 byte lengths and flags in archive headers.
    • Entry names exceeding ZIP format limits are rejected with a clear error.
    • ZIP64 metadata is selected more reliably for archives with large entry counts or central directories.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ZIP reader now handles partial reads, validates archive boundaries, and rejects truncated data. The ZIP writer uses UTF-8 byte lengths, rejects oversized filenames, and selects ZIP64 end records at configured thresholds. Tests cover these behaviors.

…defaults (#397)

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

**Stack — this is 1 of 2.** Split out of #396 so the fix with actual
field impact can be reviewed and land on its own.

| | PR | contents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | **this PR** (base `main`) | per-segment size defaults |
| 2 | #398 (base this) | zip64 EOCD sentinels, truncated archive
detection, UTF-8 entry names |
| — | #396 (base `main`) | the combined diff of 1 + 2, as originally
opened |

---

`integrityInformation.segments[].segmentSize` and
`.encryptedSegmentSize` are optional in the TDF spec; when absent, the
reader is supposed to fall back to `segmentSizeDefault` /
`encryptedSegmentSizeDefault`. `manifest.schema.json` marks the two
defaults required on `integrityInformation` but puts no `required` list
on `segments/items`, so the per-segment values are optional overrides
and an absent one means "the default", not zero.

Gson left the absent primitives at `0`, and java-sdk read the payload
with a zero-length segment. **Every web SDK TDF larger than one default
segment (1 MiB) failed to decrypt in java-sdk**, surfacing as a
confusing integrity error rather than as a manifest problem.

A primitive `long` cannot distinguish an absent JSON key from a literal
`0`, so the fix consults the parse tree: a Gson `TypeAdapterFactory`
registered for `IntegrityInformation` walks the parsed `segments` array
alongside the deserialized list and fills in the defaults only where the
key is absent or JSON `null`. Boxing `Segment.segmentSize` to `Long`
would have been the other option, but it breaks the public API (`==` in
`Segment.equals`, an `int` -> `Long` assignment in `TDF`, existing
`assertEquals(Long, int)` in tests) for no added behavior, so the
post-deserialization fixup was chosen instead. Explicit `0` in the JSON
is preserved as `0`.

`TDF.Reader.readPayload` additionally rejects a segment with a
non-positive `encryptedSegmentSize` up front — an encrypted segment
always carries at least an IV and a tag — so a manifest that supplies
neither a per-segment size nor a usable default now says so instead of
failing downstream with an unrelated complaint about the payload being
too small to GMAC.

## Tests

4 new tests:

- `ManifestTest.testAbsentSegmentSizesFallBackToTheManifestDefaults` —
absent / partially overridden / fully overridden, plus a `toJson` round
trip.
- `ManifestTest.testExplicitZeroSegmentSizeIsNotTreatedAsAbsent`.
- `TDFTest.testReadingATDFThatOmitsDefaultedSegmentSizes` — encrypts ~2
MiB + 4242 bytes at a 1 MiB segment size, strips every per-segment size
equal to the default from the manifest, and asserts a byte-exact
decrypt.
- `TDFTest.testZeroLengthSegmentIsRejectedWithAClearError`.

Confirmed to be genuine regression tests by reverting the
`registerTypeAdapterFactory` line and watching them fail.

```
mvn --batch-mode verify -Dmaven.antrun.skip -P 'coverage,non-fips,!fips'
  -> 235 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 8 skipped (231 before this change)  [JDK 21]
```

## End-to-end validation

Run on the `opentdf/tests` `DSPX-4592-02-chunky` branch, which adds
`test_tdfs.py::test_chunky_roundtrip` — a 5 MiB round trip, versus the
128 bytes the suite has used for four years, which is what it takes for
a writer to emit a segment whose size equals the manifest default. Both
runs pass `force-supports=chunky`, which makes `tdfs.skip_chunky_skew`
return early so the cell reports a real pass or fail instead of skipping
on the unreleased version gate.

| | `java-ref` | run | `js -> java` chunky cell |
|---|---|---|---|
| fix | `DSPX-4589-01-segment-size-defaults` |
[34353420418](https://github.com/opentdf/tests/actions/runs/34353420418)
✅ | **PASSED** |
| control | `main` (this PR's base) |
[34355312405](https://github.com/opentdf/tests/actions/runs/34355312405)
❌ | **FAILED** |

Exactly one cell flips between the two runs. Every chunky pair, side by
side:

| encrypt -> decrypt | control (`java@main`) | fix (`java@this-branch`)
|
|---|---|---|
| **js -> java** | **FAILED** | **PASSED** |
| go -> java | PASSED | PASSED |
| java -> java | PASSED | PASSED |
| java -> go | PASSED | PASSED |
| java -> js | PASSED | PASSED |

(The four non-java pairs report `SKIPPED` in both runs —
`focus-sdk=java` deselects them, not the feature gate.)

`js -> java` is precisely the reported bug: a web-SDK writer omits the
per-segment sizes, and the java reader cannot default them back. The
control fails with the confusing downstream symptom this PR describes,
on the `main` that this branch is based on:

```
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: tried to calculate GMAC on too small a payload. payload is 0bytes while GMAC is 16 bytes
	at io.opentdf.platform.sdk.TDF.calculateSignature(TDF.java:481)
	at io.opentdf.platform.sdk.TDF$Reader.readPayload(TDF.java:447)
```

Job totals: control js job `1 failed, 23 passed, 50 skipped`; fix java
job `82 passed, 22 skipped`, no failures and no chunky skips.

Both were confirmed by grepping the run logs for the cell's own
`PASSED`/`FAILED`/`SKIPPED` line rather than trusting the job's colour —
a green job with a skipped cell is the vacuous pass the test exists to
prevent.

## Follow-up in opentdf/tests

`force-supports` is a pre-release override for these runs only.
`xtest/sdk/java/cli.sh` still answers `chunky unsupported: see
DSPX-4589` and hard-codes exit 1; when this fix releases, that case has
to become a version gate or the cell goes back to skipping. Tracked on
DSPX-4592, which owns the tests repo.

Do not treat a zero-byte read as EOF.

SeekableByteChannel.read can return zero without reaching EOF. Only -1 identifies end-of-stream. The current condition rejects a valid archive if a caller-supplied channel returns zero before returning more data. (docs.oracle.com)

Handle -1 as EOF. Retry or report no progress separately when the result is zero. Add a test channel that returns zero once before returning data.

Fixed in b899842. Only -1 is end of file now. A new readSome helper retries an empty read up to 16 times in a row, then throws an IOException, so a channel with nothing to give fails instead of spinning. It is used in all three places that read from the channel: fill(), the single-byte getData().read(), and the central directory filename read (which now goes through fill()). read(byte[], int, int) uses it too, so it no longer returns 0 for a non-empty request.

Tests:

  • testArchiveReadThroughAChannelThatReturnsEmptyReads: a channel that returns 0 before every read that returns data.
  • testChannelThatStopsReturningDataFails: a channel that stalls, both before the archive is opened and partway through an entry, wrapped in assertTimeoutPreemptively.

Read through this one fairly closely, mostly against APPNOTE for the sentinel and scan-window arithmetic. Good PR — the tests are the kind that actually fail when the code breaks, and the revert-the-mask-fix check you describe is the right way to prove that.

Four things I chased down and want to record as cleared, since they're the ones a future reader will also stop on:

  • ZipWriter writes the real 0xFFFF sentinel when the entry count overflows, and entryCountAloneDrivesTheEndOfCentralDirectorySentinel asserts it at both totalEntries and entriesOnThisDisk. So the Short.MAX_VALUE threshold does deliver the guarantee its javadoc claims: anything we write as non-zip64 has a count that survives a signed widening read.
  • fill() returning false leaves the buffer cleared-but-unflipped. Safe, because every caller either throws or returns null without touching it, and the next fill() opens with clear(). Worth the javadoc line you gave it.
  • Finding 3's "no archive was ever mis-written" holds up. CDFileHeader.write() already wrote (short) filename.length off the encoded array, and LocalFileHeader.filenameLength was being assigned from nameBytes.length rather than String.length(). Both were correct on the wire; only the dead field was misleading. The filenameLengthIsMeasuredInUtf8Bytes assertions at both header offsets are a good way to keep it that way.
  • seekWithinArchive rejecting offset >= size doesn't catch the zero-entry archive, whose central directory offset lands at size - 22.

Five findings, one of which is worth fixing before merge.


1. The description is stale on the entry count threshold

The body says:

|| numEntries > MAX_NON_ZIP64_ENTRY_COUNT          // 0xFFFE; 0xFFFF is the sentinel itself

along with "the format's own limit is 0xFFFE", and describes the test as "entry count (0xFFFE non-zip64 vs 0xFFFF zip64, round-tripped through ZipReader)".

The code is MAX_NON_ZIP64_ENTRY_COUNT = Short.MAX_VALUE — 32,767, half of what the description states — and the test correspondingly uses Short.MAX_VALUE and Short.MAX_VALUE + 1. Code and tests agree with each other. Only the description disagrees with both.

The javadoc on the constant lays out the signed-read reasoning clearly, and I think the conservative threshold is the right call. This is purely a description fix, but worth making: someone reading the PR body to answer "does my 40,000 entry archive go zip64?" gets the wrong answer, and the body is what outlives the review.

2. Narrowing the scan window is a compatibility change, and deserves a release note

The end of central directory scan went from unbounded to the trailing 22 + 0xFFFF bytes. Spec-correct, and the performance argument for it is real — an unbounded scan doing a positioned four byte read per byte is genuinely awful on a large file.

The consequence is that an archive carrying more than 64 KiB of appended data — not a comment — was readable before and is rejected now. testEndOfCentralDirectoryPushedBeyondTheCommentLimitIsRejected pins that as intended, and testZip64ArchiveWithTrailingDataStillReads covers the realistic side, so the behavior is deliberate and well tested. It is just the sort of narrowing that is better announced than discovered downstream.

3. read(buf) <= 0 conflates a zero-byte read with end of file

ReadableByteChannel.read is permitted to return 0 without being at end of stream. Strictly, < 0 is the end-of-file test and 0 means retry — but retrying risks spinning on a channel that genuinely has nothing to give, and <= 0 at least terminates. For a SeekableByteChannel reaching this code the pragmatic choice is probably the right one.

The javadoc currently states it as unconditional ("Only a read that reports no progress at all is an end of file"), which reads as a property of channels rather than as the tradeoff it is. A clause noting that a non-blocking channel returning 0 is treated as end of file would make the decision legible to whoever hits it.

ShortReadChannel is a nice harness and covers short reads well; it returns only positive counts, so it does not exercise this particular case either way.

4. The comment length read is now dead rather than merely unread

readUnsignedShort(); // comment length; nothing here reads it, but the field is there

Both paths below either return immediately or reposition the channel explicitly, so this advances a cursor nothing subsequently observes. Keeping it as in-order documentation of the record layout is defensible — the comment just undersells it slightly: it is not only unread, it has no effect.

5. Small coverage suggestion on rejectsAnEntryNameTooLongToDescribe

encodeFilename runs before anything is written in both stream() and writeByteArray(), so a rejected name leaves the writer clean and still usable. That is a genuinely useful property and it is currently incidental. One extra assertion would pin it: catch the SDKException, write a valid entry to the same writer, and confirm the archive still reads back.

@sujankota thanks for the careful read. All five points are addressed in b899842:

  1. Stale threshold in the description. I rewrote the PR body. It now states Short.MAX_VALUE (zip64 from 32,768 entries) and the reason for it. I also fixed an off-by-one in the constant's javadoc, which said "at 32,767".
  2. Release note for the narrower scan window. The body now opens with a release note covering this, and also notes that zip64 archives with trailing data now read where they didn't before.
  3. <= 0 treated as end of file. I went with CodeRabbit's approach, which pflynn agreed to, but with a bound so it can't spin. Only -1 is end of file. An empty read is retried up to 16 times in a row, then throws an IOException. The same applies to getData() and the filename read. New tests cover a channel that returns empty reads and one that stalls (under assertTimeoutPreemptively).
  4. The comment-length read does nothing. It does something now: the scan uses the comment length to skip candidates whose comment would run past the end of the archive. That passes over a stray signature inside a comment and rejects a truncated comment. The read at the old spot is gone.
  5. Writer still usable after a rejected name. rejectsAnEntryNameTooLongToDescribe now rejects the name through both data() and stream(), then writes a valid entry to the same writer and checks that the archive reads back with exactly one entry, through both ZipReader and commons-compress. It also pins the boundary: the longest allowed name is accepted and one byte more is rejected.

The cap on name length is now Short.MAX_VALUE rather than 0xFFFF, for the same signed-read reason as the entry count: released readers read the filename length as signed.

The review also turned up a few smaller fixes, now in this PR:

  • a negative or impossibly large zip64 entry count is rejected;
  • truncated entry data throws instead of returning a short entry;
  • EOFException is replaced by InvalidZipException;
  • the local header sets the UTF-8 flag for byte-array entries;
  • the locator signature error names the right record.

22 new tests in total; mvn -pl sdk -am test gives 309 tests, 0 failures.

…, UTF-8 entry names

Three zip container conformance fixes found while auditing the TDF zip
container against PKWARE APPNOTE.TXT.

1. ZipWriter only set the zip64 flag on the end of central directory record
   when the entry count exceeded 0xFF or the central directory offset/size
   exceeded 0xFFFF. Those masks do not match the field widths: the entry
   count is 2 bytes and the offset and size are 4 bytes each. Archives with
   between 256 and 65534 entries were needlessly promoted to zip64, and the
   offset/size checks now go through needsZip64 so they honor the same 2 GiB
   ceiling as the per-entry fields.

2. ZipReader treated a short read while scanning backwards for the end of
   central directory signature as a signature match, so a truncated archive
   could fall out of the scan loop and parse whatever followed as an end of
   central directory record. It now only breaks on a real match and throws
   InvalidZipException otherwise, and rejects an archive too small to hold
   the zip64 locator it claims to have.

3. ZipWriter computed the central directory filename length from
   String.length() rather than from the UTF-8 encoded byte count. The value
   was assigned to a field that write() never read, so the bytes on the wire
   were already correct, but the dead field is removed, the name is encoded
   once instead of twice, and a name too long for the 2 byte length field is
   now rejected instead of silently truncated.
