This bug is fixed in Java 23u10

I came across an apparent bug in java.util.zip.ZipInputStream where reading a certain type of zip file causes an exception:

java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 0 but got 199 bytes)
	at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.readEnd(ZipInputStream.java:384)
	at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.read(ZipInputStream.java:196)
	at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:122)

The file in question reads fine using archiving utilities and Java’s ZipFile, so the issue is likely rooted in ZipInputStream. My application requires reading the zip file sequentially, so ZipInputStream is my only option besides a third-party library. I decided to search for a solution using vanilla Java rather than pulling in a new dependency.
