CVE-2020-15350
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.8)—
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.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 1.47%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 73
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

La función de decodificación base64_decode() usa una función de estimación del búfer de salida para calcular la capacidad de búfer requerida y comprobarla con el tamaño del búfer proporcionado. La función base64_estimate_decode_size() calcula el tamaño descodificado esperado con un error de redondeo aritmético y no toma en cuenta los posibles bytes de relleno. Debido a esta subestimación, puede ser posible crear una entrada base64 que cause un desbordamiento del búfer"
