Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-3739:
--------------------------------------

    Summary: Skip and read methods in ArrayInputStream may overflow  (was: 
Calls to ArrayInputStream.skip() may overflow and have unexpected results)

Updated summary to reflect that the issue doesn't only affect skip().

> If ArrayInputStream.skip() is called with a large value (like Long.MAX_VALUE) 
> an internal calculation may overflow and cause unexpected results.
> It's the line which says
>     if ((position + count) > end) {
> that can overflow. If count (a long) is so big that position + count doesn't 
> fit in a long, the condition will evaluate to false although it should have 
> evaluated to true. Changing the condition to (count > end - position) will 
> fix the problem. Alternatively, we could simplify the entire method body to:
>     count = Math.min(count, end - position);
>     position += count;
>     return count;
