CVE-2019-12402: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

(updated )

The file name encoding algorithm used internally in Apache Commons Compress 1.15 to 1.18 can get into an infinite loop when faced with specially crafted inputs. This can lead to a denial of service attack if an attacker can choose the file names inside of an archive created by Compress.
