Henri Yandell closed CODEC-68.
------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
The relevant line of code has already been changed to:
} else if (octect < 0 || base64Alphabet[octect] == -1) {
Thus it no longer gets an exception and is ignored.
> isBase64 throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on some non-BASE64 bytes

> Key: CODEC-68
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-68
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Robert Rodewald
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Original Estimate: 0.25h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.25h
>
> the following code throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException although it is
> perfectly valid (the byte 0x9c should be ignored according to the standard):
> {code}
> byte[x] = new byte[] { 'n', 'A', '=', '=', 0x9c };
> Base64.decodeBase64(x);
> {code}
> The problem is the following method:
> {code}
> private static boolean isBase64(byte octect) {
> if (octect == PAD) {
> return true;
> } else if (base64Alphabet[octect] == -1) {
> return false;
> } else {
> return true;
> }
> }
> {code}
> in Java octect is a *signed* value, so it is not correct to use it as an
> offset for an array [0..254] which base64Alphabet is. 0x9c is -100!
> FIX:
> use base64Alphabet[ 0xff & octect ] in the "else if" block to convert the
> octet prior using it as an offset for the lookup table
