[New-bugs-announce] [issue34104] email.message.get_payload should enforce correct encoding

[Serge Droz]

New submission from Serge Droz <serge at drozilla.ch>:

The issue is really this:
https://noxxi.de/research/mime-5-easy-steps-to-bypass-av.html

get_payload should with decode=Treu should check the validity of the syntax and throw an error if it is not. This would happen if the underlying call to base64.decode would be called with validate=True
