I've been using the axutil base64 libraries recently and came across a
issue in the base64.c source file (located in .../util/src/base64.c),
in the following function which is used by the axutil base64 binary
library to calculate the number of encoded bytes:

AXIS2_EXTERN int AXIS2_CALL axutil_base64_decode_len(const char *bufcoded)
{
    int nbytesdecoded;
    register const unsigned char *bufin;
    register int nprbytes;

    bufin = (const unsigned char *) bufcoded;
    while (pr2six[*(bufin++)] <= 63);

    nprbytes = (bufin - (const unsigned char *) bufcoded) - 1;

    nbytesdecoded = ((nprbytes + 3) / 4) * 3;

    return nbytesdecoded + 1;
}

I believe that this calculation of the number of encoded bytes is
incorrect and have applied a quick fix as follows:

AXIS2_EXTERN int AXIS2_CALL axutil_base64_decode_len(const char *bufcoded)
{
    int nbytesdecoded;
    register const unsigned char *bufin;
    register int nprbytes;

    bufin = (const unsigned char *) bufcoded;
    while (pr2six[*(bufin++)] <= 63);

    nprbytes = (bufin - (const unsigned char *) bufcoded) - 1;

    nbytesdecoded = ((nprbytes >> 2) * 3);

    if (nprbytes & 0x03) nbytesdecoded += (nprbytes & 0x03) - 1;

    return nbytesdecoded;
}

I hope this is of some help.

Best regards,

Royston
