We already fixed the case of missing padding but there is also
more generic one where input for decode function contains non
base64 characters.
This is mostly done for alternator purpose, it should discard
the request containing such data and return 400 http error.
Addionally some harmless integer overflow during integer casting
was fixed here. This was attempted to be fixed by 2d33a3f
but since we also implicitly cast to uint8_t the problem persisted.
This is done to make alternator behavior more on a pair with dynamodb.
Decode function is used there when processing user requests containing binary
item values. We will now discard improperly formed user input with 400 http error.
It also makes it more consistent as some of our other base64 functions
may have assumed padding is present.
The patch should not break other usages of base64 functions as the only one is
in db/hints where the code already throws std::runtime_error.
Fixes#6487
Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
The base64 encoding/decoding functions will be used for serialization of
hint sync point descriptions. Base64 format is not specific to
Alternator, so it can be moved to utils.
