rust-base64 version <= 0.5.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when calculating the size of a buffer to use when encoding base64 using the 'encode_config_buf' and 'encode_config' functions
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
