Yes, I saw this and it's still done after the patch.

What I didn't finish to understand is the validation of the signed MANIFEST.MF
entries. Is it really enough to just read through the whole JAR file with a
JarInputStream with getNextJarEntry() and everything is automagically checked
for correctness?

Do we care that a WAR file contains only correct signed JAR files? I never
really was involved in the topic signed war files and/or containing jar files
inside a war file.

That is an important hint, I think we should really go for an minimal
functional ZIP "PK entry" parser to extract the offset of each "PK entry
start", to fast forward in the jar file inside the war file.
