Summary:
An encrypted ZIP 2.0 file containing at least one 0 byte file will fail to extract using the bundled Archive Utility.app. It seems like the bundled extractor gets a 0 byte output and thinks the password is incorrect, so it asks the password again in a loop.
Used Keka to create the test encrypted file, although tested too with WinZIP and BetterZIP. Those, Info-ZIP (unzip in the Terminal) and The Unarchiver extract the file properly.
You can recreate the test file, simply add a 0 byte file (touch void.txt) and encrypt it with Keka, WinZIP, BetterZIP or similar. Compressing it with Info-ZIP (test_infozip.zip) will not trigger the issue since it uses the obsolete ZIP 1.0 and this seems to fail only with 2.0 version.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the attached file "test.zip" with Archive Utility.app
Archive Utility.app will ask for the file's password
Type in the password (test) and hit ok
Expected Results:
The file should extract properly, given the correct password
Actual Results:
Archive Utility.app will ask the password again for the zero byte file "void.txt". It will not accept the correct password (test) or any other.
Version/Build:
Tested from Mac OS X 10.9 Archive Utility 10.9.1 (71.3) to macOS 10.14 Archive Utility 10.11 (101).
