Summary Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop) When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, the `read` method of Apache Commons `ZipArchiveInputStream` can fail to return the correct `EOF` indication after the end of the stream has been reached. This can lead to an infinite stream, which can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use compressed zip package.
