jobar opened a new pull request #91: Make bz2 decompressor robust to selector 
overflow
URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-compress/pull/91
 
 
   As explained in 
https://gnu.wildebeest.org/blog/mjw/2019/08/02/bzip2-and-the-cve-that-wasnt/
   bz2 has historically been able to decompress wrongly formatted compressed
   files, more precisely files stating more selectors that the algorithm
   actually uses.
   This patch replicates 
https://sourceware.org/ml/bzip2-devel/2019-q3/msg00007.html
   and provides a test file extracted from 20191201 German Xikipedia XML dump:
