Summary: Base64 decoding doesn't report errors in some platforms
Key: IMPALA-13973
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13973
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Backend
Reporter: Zoltán Borók-Nagy
Base64 decoding doesn't report errors in some platforms.
When the libSASL library in the system has a bug, sasl_decode64() accepts
almost anything instead of rerturning a proper error code.
See details at https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/issues/619
This issue was already reported by IMPALA-9926 and IMPALA-13968, but they only
modified our tests to make them pass in such environments.
We could add our own implementation for Base64 decoding, or use another library
that doesn't have this bug (and hopefully neither other bugs).
The issue is fixed in libSASL, but since we use the library from the system we
run on, it means we cannot guarantee correct behavior.
