If we are encoding a block of data that is 16 bytes in length,
we cannot leave it as 16 bytes, we must pad it out to the next
block boundary, 32 bytes. Without this padding, the decoder will
incorrectly treat the last byte of plain text as the padding
length, as it can't distinguish padded from non-padded data.
The problem exhibited itself when using a 16 byte passphrase
for a LUKS volume
$ virsh secret-set-value 55806c7d-8e93-456f-829b-607d8c198367 \
$(echo -n 1234567812345678 | base64)
Secret value set
$ virsh start demo

Incorrect number of padding bytes (56) found on decrypted data
Notice how the padding '56' corresponds to the ordinal value of
the character '8'.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
