CVE-2020-15350

9.8 criticalEPSS 1.5%

Critical (9.8) in riot-os riot. EPSS 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

RIOT 2020.04 has a buffer overflow in the base64 decoder. The decoding function base64_decode() uses an output buffer estimation function to compute the required buffer capacity and validate against the provided buffer size. The base64_estimate_decode_size() function calculates the expected decoded size with an arithmetic round-off error and does not take into account possible padding bytes. Due to this underestimation, it may be possible to craft base64 input that causes a buffer overflow.
