A patch from rian hunter (chrono86):
In src/protocols/oscar/oscar.c, in the function
gaim_plugin_oscar_convert_to_best_encoding. g_convert
is called multiple times. As its 5th argument g_convert
takes a gsize* (8 byte), yet the argument to
gaim_plugin_oscar_convert_to_best_encoding is a int* (4
byte).
On LP64 machines this can allow the int* to be
overwritten. This is especially bad on big endian
64-bit machines, causing the high 32-bits to be written
into the low 32-bits of the int.
This is a quick fix patch that lets g_convert deal with
a gsize* pointer instead, then casting the value at
gsize* to the value at the int*.
A real fix would be to fix the aim_sendimext_args
structure to have a gsize instead of an int (and all
functions that use the aim_sendimext_args struct), and
changing gaim_plugin_oscar_convert_to_best_encoding to
accept a gsize*. of course, this woudl promote glib2
dependence, so that's probably not the best thing to do.
