Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Off-by-one Error through the wi_uudecode function in the Base64 decode process. An attacker can cause a one-byte write at the boundary of a 1024-byte stack buffer by supplying input data that matches the buffer size, potentially leading to memory corruption under constrained conditions. This is only exploitable if the HTTP request bounds or buffering constraints are altered to allow the off-by-one write to affect memory outside the intended buffer.
