Description:

The original libb64 source is no more maintained for a long time and left many bug unfixed. Like integer overflow, incorrect data type, invalid pointer usage...etc. There was a fork version of the b64 library which fix those bug: https://github.com/libb64/libb64. This library is also being used by some active maintain downstream package like transmission. Could you consider replace the upstream to this fork version?
This task depends upon

FWIW both Fedora and Debian still appear to be on the SF version.
