Bug #24312 Base64 decoder doesn't ignore all input characters that it should ignore
Submitted: 2003-06-24 04:46 UTC Modified: 2003-06-24 10:26 UTC
From: gereon dot steffens at onvista dot de Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Unknown/Other Function
PHP Version: 4.3.3RC1 OS: All
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
ext/standard/base64.c contains a mapping array called base64_reverse_table that has 256 elements, but only 240 initializers. This means that input characters in the range 0xF0 to 0xFF map to 0 (because the compiler fills the remaining elements) instead of -1 and therefore are not ignored as they should be.

Here's a diff for the trivial patch:

--- base64.c    Tue Jun 24 11:02:26 2003
