Infinite Read Loop
When reading an input file using the BufferedRandomAccesssFile an infinite
loop will occur once the buffer is drained and the value `leftover` becomes 0,
since the read method will continue to return 0 as the -1 result from
`fillBuffer()` is never propagated upstream and any code that is executing in a
loop using -1 as an indicator that the file has been fully read will never exit.
An example of where this occurs can be found here:
https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/782ac20dcea7b2e5bb6848f4da9a68c00b4d69a3/fontbox/src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox/ttf/TTFDataStream.java#L264
