Summary:                    [patch] BASE64_DECODE() adds garbage end end of
decoded string
Description: 
This problem has two causes:

1) BASE64_DECODE() fails to null terminate its return value. This becomes
evident if first a long string is decoded and then a short one.  The short
one will have have the last part of the long string appended to it.

2) What is more, ast_base64decode() does not recognize the equals signs
which pad the end of a string the length of which is not a multiple of
three bytes. Rather than stopping, it decodes the padding as data,
producing bogus output.
