[PATCH 1/2] lib/base64: validate before writing in decode tail path
Posted by Josh Law 1 week, 2 days ago
The trailing-bytes path in base64_decode() writes a decoded byte to
the output buffer before checking whether the input characters are
valid. If the input is malformed, garbage is written to dst before the
function returns -1.

Move the validity checks before any writes so the output buffer is
left untouched on invalid input.
